“Today, we’re pleased to announce that we’ve closed a deal with the partnership of Taconic Investment Partners, Jamestown Properties and the New York State Common Retirement Fund to purchase 111 Eighth Avenue (also known as 76 Ninth Avenue).

As part of the deal, we’ve retained Taconic Management Company to continue the leasing oversight services and management of the building on our behalf, providing the same level of customer service the building’s tenants have come to expect. We believe that this is a great real estate investment in a thriving neighborhood and a fantastic city.”

Google also reports that over 2000 Googlers currently work in the building and that the company plans on hiring more to fill up the massive space — At 15 stories and 2.9 million square feet, 111 Chelsea (also known as 76 Ninth Avenue) is New York City’s fourth largest office building.
