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. Alongside 550 Washington, Google also acquired two other developments, 315 and 345 Hudson Street, as part of the company’s grand “Googleplex” plan.

As a result, the over 1 million gross square-foot building is well suited for the modern media giant.
