Google’s expanding, but not in Silicon Valley

New York (CNN Money)Big Tech’s expansion outside of Silicon Valley continues: Google announced Monday it will invest more than $1 billion to double its workforce in New York City.

In a blog post, Google said it will expand into three office buildings near the Hudson River in lower Manhattan. The company will gain 1.7 million square feet for more than 7,000 additional employees. Google hopes to move into the new space in 2020 and 2022, developing the new buildings into its New York-based headquarters.
Google (GOOGL) opened its first New York location in 2000. That single-person sales office in a Starbucks was its first presence outside of California. Today Google has more than 7,000 employees based in New York, most of which work in the Chelsea building it purchased in 2010.
