“New York City isn’t just where we work – it’s who we are,” said Sam Hammock, EVP and Chief Human Resources Officer, Verizon. “Our employees deserve a workplace that is just as vibrant as our culture. PENN 2 is more than an office. It’s a space designed to bring us together – to collaborate, to celebrate, to think boldly and to build the future side-by-side. New York has played a central role in Verizon’s story, and there’s no better place to create our next chapter. As the network New Yorkers trust, we’re proud to invest in the city that’s always inspired us.”
For 25 years, Verizon has been the backbone of New York City, keeping New Yorkers connected, moving and safe by delivering mission-critical connectivity to New York City public safety agencies and tens of thousands of small businesses across all five boroughs. With more than 400 retail locations citywide, a new flagship retail store opening on Seventh Avenue, and growing Fios availability, Verizon remains at the heart of daily life in the city. The move to PENN 2 will bring approximately 1,000 corporate employees together under one roof, providing the ideal environment for innovation and collaboration.
.....During the term of the lease, Verizon will occupy more than 195,000 square feet of premier office space across multiple floors, with exclusive access to more than 25,000 square feet of outdoor space within The Bustle. Located directly above Penn Station at the crossroads of Midtown, PENN 2 offers unmatched convenience for employees, with direct access to 15 subway lines, the Long Island Railroad, New Jersey Transit, PATH, Amtrak, and soon Metro-North–making it easier than ever for teams to connect and collaborate from across the region. This location will support employees’ best work and places Verizon at the heart of the city’s economic energy and innovation.
“We are thrilled to welcome Verizon to the growing roster of world-renowned business, communications, technology, finance, and entertainment firms that have chosen THE PENN DISTRICT for their corporate homes,” said Glen Weiss, Executive Vice President - Office Leasing and Co-Head of Real Estate for Vornado Realty Trust. “Our reinvention of THE PENN DISTRICT has produced a vibrant gateway to New York’s new West Side and represents a new era of workplace thinking, where dynamic environments, unparalleled connectivity, and employee-focused design come together to inspire collaboration and innovation.”

Let's hope all of the momentum they have been getting at 1 and 2 Penn will lead Vornado to leaning more towards getting 15 Penn built. I know they have repeatedly said it's too expensive to build anything now, but they will run out of options.
