Google Buys NYC Building For $1.9 Billion

This is my favorite part (highlighted by me):

Google already has offices in the building, along with several large data centers. The company first established a Google Gotham office when it based one worker in a Starbucks office; today, 2,000 Google employees work in New York, primarily from its newly acquired office space, according to the Wall Street Journal.

I've been in that building quite frequently....there are NUMEROUS other companies in that building.
Whats cool about that building is that the hallways on each floor still have tire tracks from where the busses used to pass over and the old, decomissioned manholes.
I guess Google will be the new sluml...er, landlord!?

Pretty awesome.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that the Googleplex is valued in the mid teen-billions, but I'll have to see if I can find that again.
