10-story lower Manhattan building sits atop a fiber-dense corridor with critical infrastructure
New York – May 26, 2021 – DivcoWest has completed the purchase of 325 Hudson Street, a 10-story, mission-critical property located at Hudson and Vandam Streets in lower Manhattan.
Centrally located in the dynamic innovation hub of Hudson Square, 325 Hudson sits adjacent to Disney’s new 1.2 million square foot headquarters, is surrounded on three sides by Google, and is proximate to the NY Genome Center and NYU’s Langone Health/Biolab co-working facility for early-stage life science enterprises.
The approximately 220,000 square foot flexible building sits atop the fiber-dense Hudson Street corridor and offers a Meet Me Room (MMR) ecosystem with direct access to over 40 fiber networks and five transatlantic subsea cables. This translates to swift and cost-effective data connections.
DivcoWest will maintain a premier core interconnection colocation managed by H5 Data Centers, a national colocation and carrier hotel provider, while also investing in the remaining space to deliver creative and collaborative environments for tenants.
“This building offers real optionality for a variety of users,” said Ariel Aber, DivcoWest’s head of the NY region. “There is tremendous interstitial space between floors, which will appeal to research use, while the large floor plates with clear window lines will also benefit life science and creative office users,” Aber added. DivcoWest believes these features, combined with the unparalleled connectivity, technology infrastructure and location, make the building a rare proposition for enterprises across media, life science and office sectors.
