Squarespace to Build Out New Space At West Village Headquarters, Growing New York Office 20 Percent By 2022
Expansion Will Create over 150 New Tech Jobs in Engineering, Product Design, Marketing and Operations
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced that Squarespace, the all-in-one website building platform that delivers award-winning design to millions of customers, will expand its global headquarters in New York City, growing its New York presence 20 percent by 2022. The expansion will create over 150 new tech jobs — seventy percent of which will be on Squarespace's engineering team, with the remainder supporting product design, marketing, operations and other roles that will support the company's rapid growth. As part of the expansion, Squarespace will invest in building out two newly-leased floors in the West Village's historic Maltz Building. Today's announcement supports Governor Cuomo's efforts to further develop New York's tech economy and to create jobs in communities across the state.
"New York State has added tens of thousands of tech jobs over the last decade — and we are not slowing down anytime soon. Thanks to smart state investments in the tech-talent pipeline, we are continuing to grow our economy and generate opportunities for New Yorkers," Governor Cuomo said. "Squarespace is a prime example of New York's tech-industry strength, and we are proud they are expanding their global headquarters — helping cement our position as a global tech leader."
