Built in the Art Deco style and completed in 1932, this massive structure is the third largest building (in terms of square footage/2.9 million ft²) in Manhattan- just behind 55 Water Street (3.5 million ft²) and the Met Center (3.14 million ft²). It was formally the Port Authority headquarters and Inland Terminal Number One.
Google purchased the building in 2010, and it's currently the de facto headquarters for their east coast operations. The square footage of this single building is larger than the entire sum of all the buildings in the 26-acre Googleplex campus in Mountain View, California.
