Anthropic, the AI company behind the Claude model, is leasing an entire 16-story building at 330 Hudson Street in Lower Manhattan. The deal covers roughly 466,000 square feet of office space, a staggering 30x increase from the company’s current New York footprint.
For context, Anthropic currently occupies about 15,500 square feet at 155 Avenue of the Americas, a space it leased in 2024. The current lease at 155 Avenue of the Americas has a potential expiration approaching in 2026, making the timing of this deal practical as much as aspirational.
From startup footprint to tech giant ambitions
Anthropic had been shopping for between 250,000 and 450,000 square feet of Manhattan office space since as early as January 2026. Landing at the top end of that range tells you something about how quickly the company’s ambitions scaled during the search process.
The company plans to double its New York workforce as part of the move, as confirmed in a July 7, 2026 report by the New York Times.
