Hudson Square is having a moment.
The neighborhood has quickly become one of the city’s most in-demand office destinations, with leasing activity more than tripling compared with 2024.
One Grand is set to bring something new to the neighborhood: a 430,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art office tower at Grand and Varick Streets, designed with today’s tech, AI, and media tenants in mind.
Think expansive windows, open floor plates, 20,000 square feet of outdoor space, a rooftop terrace, and amenity spaces designed around the way companies work today.
The interesting part? Despite the demand for space in Hudson Square, One Grand has yet to secure a tenant—and that may say more about timing than demand. With a 36-month construction timeline, many companies are looking for space they can move into now.
Still, the momentum around Hudson Square is hard to ignore. With major commitments from companies like Disney, Google, Anthropic, and PayPal, this neighborhood continues to evolve into one of Manhattan’s most compelling commercial districts.
