New York<\/strong>\u2014AppNexus unveiled its latest designs and details for the new Union Square Tech Hub, a 258,000-square-foot project that will provide space for tech worker training, education, startups and convening.<\/p>\n

Union Square Tech Hub<\/p><\/div>\n

The $250 million project is being developed by RAL Development Services and designed by Davis Brody Bond. The development will also include traditional and flexible office spaces that will provide tech companies with direct access to a steady pipeline of potential future\u00a0employees.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis new hub will be the front-door for tech in New York City,\u201d Mayor Bill de Blasio, said in a prepared release. \u201cPeople searching for jobs, training or the resources to start a company will have a place to come to connect and get support. No other city in the nation has anything like it. It represents this City\u2019s commitment to a strong and inclusive tech ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Union Square Tech Hub will be anchored by Civic Hall, a collaborative work and event space advancing the use of technology for the public good. Civic Hall will include a diverse mix of community organizations, tech companies, city, state and federal agencies, and individual civic entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to be the anchor tenant of a project that solidifies The City of New York’s commitment to making sure every New Yorker has access to 21st\u00a0Century skills and jobs,\u201d Andrew Rasiej, Civic Hall\u2019s founder & CEO, said.\u00a0\u201cWhen complete, the facility will not only produce thousands of new digitally trained\u00a0workers to support the city\u2019s fast growing technology ecosystem, but will also act as a model for how technology can support economic and civic renewal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Located at 124 East 14th St., the current site of PC Richard & Sons Union Square, the Tech Hub will consist of a hub for civic innovation, job creation and fluid work and learning opportunities in a state-of-the-art tech-enabled facility.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis project\u00a0will set a new standard for the booming creative economy around Union Square,\u201d Robert Levine, RAL Development Services\u2019 president & CEO, said. \u201cFrom the outset, we identified Civic Hall as the perfect anchor for this project, and we\u2019ve built a comprehensive, cutting-edge program around their strong track record in the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

As part of his 2017 State of the City address, Mayor de Blasio is committing to spurring the creation of 100,000 good-paying jobs, including these innovation jobs, within the next decade\u2014and including adding 40,000 jobs in the next four years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
