Facebook Inc is in talks to take on a much bigger lease at Manhattan’s Hudson Yards, giving the social media company space across three buildings at the US$25bil (RM105.16bil) mega-project, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
The deal could involve some 1.5 million square feet (139,000 square meters), about 50% more than was previously reported, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing the private negotiations. While much of the space would be at 50 Hudson Yards – a 2.9 million-square-foot tower being built by Related Cos and Oxford Properties Group – Facebook is also looking at 30 Hudson Yards and 55 Hudson Yards, the people said.
