5 apartments in Hudson Square, where Google and Disney will have new headquarters
This one bedroom is in a boutique, 20-unit co-op building in Hudson Square. It's listed for $1,200,000.
If you’ve seen listings for apartments in “Hudson Square,” and aren’t entirely sure where that is, don’t worry. You’re not alone—the fact that New York City has three similarly named neighborhoods of Hudson Square, Hudson Yards, and Hudson Heights often trips people up.
Even if the onetime industrial nabe of Hudson Heights, which is in Lower Manhattan, isn’t currently on your radar, it might be soon, thanks to big tech and media firms like Google and Disney moving into offices there in the near future.
Google’s new digs in Hudson Square will be a 1.7 million-square-foot campus at 315 and 345 Hudson Street, as well as 550 Washington Street. Employees are expected to be able to start using the Hudson Street buildings later this year, while the Washington Street project is slated for completion in 2022. Disney’s 1.2 million-square-foot NYC headquarters will be located at 4 Hudson Square, and won’t be finished for another four years.
Developers are betting that employees who will be working in Hudson Square will want to live somewhere local—and while you don't necessarily need to live right where you work, avoiding a NYC commute is certainly a nice perk.
But these builders face a challenge: The neighborhood is built around the Manhattan entrance to the often traffic-snarled Holland Tunnel. But their challenge could be your benefit as a buyer: developers typically add lots of amenities or other perks to draw buyers to less-than-desirable locations. Hudson Square developers appear to have taken a page from that playbook.
