As part of the New York City expansion, Google and Alphabet Chief Financial Officer Ruth Porat said in a blog post this morning that the company “will have the capacity to more than double its staff” in the city over the next 10 years.
The company plans to start moving into two properties on Hudson Street by 2020, and into a newly created building on Washington Street by 2022. “Google Hudson Square will be the primary location for our New York-based Global Business Organization,” Porat said.
