111 Eighth Avenue, also known as the Google Building, is a prominent Art Deco mixed-use structure located in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood. Completed in 1932, it spans an entire city block and boasts 2.9 million square feet of space, surpassing the Empire State Building. Originally designed as an inland terminal for freight transport, the building has evolved over the decades, attracting technology and telecommunications companies, particularly after Google's acquisition in 2010.
