The new hub, to be called Google Hudson Square, will serve as home for Google’s New York Global Business Organization. Together with the Chelsea Market expansion, it will allow Google to grow its existing 7,000-person footprint in New York City to more than 14,000. Today’s announcement also comes on the heels of rival Amazon’s decision to split a new secondary HQ between New York City and a Washington, D.C. suburb, though that move isn’t without its local critics. And Apple last week revealed plans for a new $1 billion campus in Austin, Texas.
