With several buildings spreading out over 26 acres, this is the location of the Google corporate campus, or the Googleplex. First leased in 2003, Google purchased the campus in 2006.
Among the many unique facts about the Googleplex is the use of alternative energy. There are solar panels covering the rooftops of 8 buildings and 2 solar carports, and capable of producing 1.6 megawatts of electricity.
In addition, four 100kW Bloom Energy Servers were shipped to Google in July 2008, making Google the first customer of Bloom Energy.

Built in the Art Deco style and completed in 1932, this massive structure is the third largest building (in terms of square footage/2.9 million ft²) in Manhattan- just behind 55 Water Street (3.5 million ft²) and the Met Center (3.14 million ft²). It was formally the Port Authority headquarters and Inland Terminal Number One.
Google purchased the building in 2010, and it's currently the de facto headquarters for their east coast operations. The square footage of this single building is larger than the entire sum of all the buildings in the 26-acre Googleplex campus in Mountain View, California.
