Tech giant Google is planning to expand its office space in New York City, potentially allowing the company to significantly increase staffing in the city, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal.

People familiar with the matter told the Journal that Google is nearing a deal to buy or lease a planned 1.3 million-square-foot office building at St. John's Terminal in Manhattan's West Village neighborhood. When completed, that building would give the Alphabet unit space for more than 8,500 staff.
