On the heels of a $50 million round that valued it at $1.5 billion, software company Asana, one led by Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz and early employee Justin Rosenstein, has agreed to lease about 17,000 square feet (1,600 square meters) at the iconic, 80 floor, 3 World Trade Center. The company expects to move in this summer, joining companies including Zola, SportsNet, Diageo, Casper, GroupM and McKinsey who currently lease space at the building.
Another notable company with plans to expand its presence in New York is Google, which announced a $1 billion investment -in December- for a new campus in the region. 3 World Trade Center officially opened on the 11th of June 2018 and is already over 50% leased.
