Construction Update: Google at St. John's Terminal, 80 Clarkson, and 570 Washington
Northeast corner.
Construction has wrapped up at Oxford Properties’ conversion of St. John’s Terminal, originally constructed in 1934, into the offices of Google at 550 Washington Street on the west side of Manhattan. Led by COOKFOX Architects, the project re-imagines the former terminus of the New York Central Railroad’s West Side viaduct into 1.3 million square feet of office space for Google. Nine new floors have been added atop the existing structure that stretched for two city blocks.

Foundation work is underway at the adjacent site which will feature two residential towers from developers Zeckendorf Development, Atlas Capital, and The Baupost Group. Designed by COOKFOX Architects with SLCE Architects, the 36-story tower at 80 Clarkson Street will offer 271 condo units, while the 29-story tower at 570 Washington Street will offer 169 affordable senior apartments. The towers will rise on what was once the northern half of the St. John’s Terminal structure, which was demolished in 2019.
