550 Washington, known as St. John’s Terminal, is a highly-coveted pool of potential among developers in New York City. In 2017, the historic site was acquired by Oxford Properties, where it was then sold to Google for $2.1 billion in 2022. The purchase served as a key component–the heart–of the company’s intentions to develop a new corporate campus.
