Alphabet Inc’s Google said on Monday that it is investing over $1 billion to establish a new campus in New York city, as it expands its presence in the city’s technology corridor along the Hudson River.

The new leased campus, which is over 1.7 million square foot, will be the primary location for Google’s global business organisation, the company said in a blog post, reports Reuters.
