BY REW • JUNE 23, 2016

After nearly 60 years in Midtown Manhattan, L’Oréal USA announced today that its first employees have officially moved into the company’s new U.S. headquarters at 10 Hudson Yards.

Over the next few months, 1,300 L’Oréal USA employees will occupy 10 floors of the building, spanning more than 400,000 s/f of the 1.8 million-square-foot Platinum LEED-designed Tower on Manhattan’s West Side.

L’Oréal’s is the second Hudson Yards tenant to move into the new neighborhood. Ten Hudson Yards officially opened its doors May 31 to welcome the first wave of Coach employees to their new global headquarters.

The majority of L’Oréal USA’s corporate functions and brand teams including Essie, Garnier, Lancôme, La Roche-Posay, L’Oréal Paris, Matrix, Maybelline, Redken and SkinCeuticals will be housed at the 10 Hudson Yards building, a modern glass office tower alongside theHigh Line.

Working with Gensler, L’Oréal USA custom-designed the Hudson Yards office space with collaboration in mind. The layout features an open floor plan with floor-to-ceiling windows and a cutting-edge lighting and solar shade system that adjusts to occupancy and the amount of outdoor light.

Energy-efficient appliances, a vacuum waste collection system and a bio-digester in the cafeteria for food waste align with the company’s Sharing Beauty With All sustainability commitments

The state-of-the-art office features an interactive virtual retail room for advanced retail planning, a technical salon and treatment room for product evaluation, and a learning center for employee training. An employee café and 4,000 s/f terrace features indoor and outdoor seating areas with views of the Hudson River and downtown skyline, and includes a juice and coffee bar and a daily menu of healthy food options.

Other employee amenities include a flagship company store, an employee nail salon, an on-site employee concierge and a wellness suite with four mother’s rooms and two meditation rooms to support healthy minds and bodies.
