Uber Expands NYC Office Following CEO Move, In-Office Mandate

Uber Technologies Inc. is expanding its New York offices, now the biggest outside its San Francisco headquarters, a reflection of the city’s growing importance to the company’s operations since Chief Executive Officer Dara Khosrowshahi moved there in recent years.

To accommodate its local workforce, which has grown to more than 2,000 employees from 800 before the pandemic, the ride-hailing giant is increasing its footprint in 3 World Trade Center in Manhattan’s Financial District to 11 floors, spanning nearly 500,000 square feet, a spokesperson told Bloomberg. The company has also been renting large swaths of office suites in the Industrious co-working space, which occupies two floors in the same building.
