LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. -- Alphabet Inc.'s Google plans to double
its workforce in New York City to more than 14,000 employees over
the next 10 years, its chief financial officer said.
Speaking at The Wall Street Journal's WSJ Tech D.Live conference
on Monday, Ruth Porat said the company is racing to add talent and
expand its staff outside its Mountain View, Calif., headquarters,
including in offices in Los Angeles and Detroit.
Google is nearing a deal to buy or lease a planned 1.3
million-square-foot office building at St. John's Terminal in the
city's West Village neighborhood, the Journal reported last week.
The building, planned to be completed by 2022, would give Google
space for more than 8,500 staff, based on the industry standard of
150 square feet per employee.
More to come.
