Google converted a 1930s train station into its New York HQ. Take a look.

Google is planning to move out of its 52,000-square-foot office in Fremont, Seattle, this summer, The Puget Sound Business Journal reported.

It has subleased the building from Tabeleau since 2017, the report said.

Downey said in the blog that a portion that "loomed over Houston street" was removed, along with a dark tunnel. A connection between the Hudson Square neighborhood and the waterfront was restored.

Teams will have assigned areas instead of employees having their own assigned desks, per the blog.

It also makes use of wood reclaimed from the Coney Island boardwalk after Hurricane Sandy.

There are also multiple cafes, terraces, and micro-kitchens for team "neighborhoods."

Carlos Martínez Flórez, Gensler's co-managing director, told Fast Company, "Google didn't want it to feel like this is for us, they wanted to show that this building is part of New York."

He added, "The building was not designed as a fortress, that was important for Google."

The building also has an events hub for Google's clients and partners.

Google said it projects it will save about 78,400 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions by building on the rail terminal, instead of creating a new structural foundation.

Thirty-six of the offices are based in the US, Google's website says. It has an on-site hotel at the Bay View campus in California for employees, which cost $99 a night in a promotion it ran last summer until September.

The company is known to have some of the coolest offices around the world. Its corporate headquarters in Mountain View, California, called "Googleplex" has a 31,276 square-feet space called Salt.

It's based on the history of salt production in the area as the old ghost town of Saline City and its salt marshes were a source of salt production dating back to 1854.

It's previously converted an old airplane hangar in LA and a
former vodka factory in Warsaw, Poland, into offices.

On February 28, Axel Springer, Business Insider's parent company, joined 31 other media groups and filed a $2.3 billion suit against Google in Dutch court, alleging losses suffered due to the company's advertising practices.
