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.
