I worked in this area for 3 years. Everyone who isn't rolling in 8 figure bank account absolutely HATES it. The square footage prices for commercial rent are through the stratosphere so small mom and pop shops can't go anywhere near this. Independent restauranteurs can't touch it with a 10 foot pole. Even some big names couldnt' open up in the Hudson Yards mall without major backing which most didn't get so food options that another major city would be rife with will never happen in this part of NYC. Small shops for groceries definitely not happening. Any gyms are the kind that cost as much a Mercedes payment. Basically the only options for foot traffic visitors are the mega corporations who can afford to run a location at a loss. So it all creates this "gentrified bubble" that is becoming the hallmark of the west side developments. Eventually those inside the bubble get bored of the options and being walled off from the real world. This is going to become a thing in urban planning.

The original building had 205,000 square feet divided on 3 floors. That's 68,333 square feet per floor, if they are of equal size. Take the 9 extra floors that they built, and that gives us 819,996 square feet (once again, if they are of equal size). But they clearly are not... Because they shortened the old building and the new floors don't cover the exact same footprint as the shortened old ones. So it is likely closer to 500,000 square feet. In other words 1/200 of 100 milion. For reference. The Pentagon, is the second largest office building in the world, and it is "only" 6,636,360 sq ft.

everyone is laughing at you for not knowing that it's a multi-trillion dollar company. the layoffs were probably to get rid of people that cant count. 🤣🤣🤣

In my opinion, the focus of the type of business is the key. It is not the same if it is designed to be a workshop, a business center or a school or training center; Each one requires a different type of environment and a different degree of interaction and that is (obviously in my opinion) the key in this project. That's why I like the idea of modular meeting rooms and I've seen in convention centers that there are rooms that can accommodate several hundred attendees and, if they are divided with modular walls they can be more rooms and for fewer people and of course, if my team is 10 people, I won't need as much space as if I had a talk for 20 or more attendees. I think that this idea of Google (or whatever company it is) is important to imply that the key to a business or company is that the employee comes to their workplace on the one hand happy and satisfied with their work there, but also to feel that the workplace is not hostile to them and that they can gather new contacts and get agreements there.
