DivcoWest has brought its AI-focused office building at 325 Hudson St. in Hudson Square to full occupancy, following a series of recent leases that filled the last remaining space in the property. The 10-story, 220,000-square-foot building now hosts a roster of artificial intelligence and technology users alongside a life sciences tenant.
The final block of space at the multitenant AI hub was leased to Flourish, an AI startup; Moment, an AI partner serving the investment management sector; and a life sciences company that remains in stealth mode. With these commitments, the landlord has fully leased the building, underscoring rising demand from AI and related technology occupiers for office space in the Hudson Square submarket.
Commenting on the broader AI landscape, Gregg Walker, president of DivcoWest Real Estate Asset Management, noted that AI firms are expanding beyond the West Coast. He said that AI innovators are not just concentrating in San Francisco and highlighted that New York has emerged as the country’s second most popular AI market, with 2.8 million square feet of active AI demand.
Leasing at 325 Hudson St. involved multiple brokerage teams representing both the landlord and the tenants. Paul Amrich, Neil King, Brooke Dewing, and Kelly Tipton of CBRE represented DivcoWest in the building’s leasing efforts, while Bill Harvey, John Cahill, and Thomas Burrus of JLL served as life science advisors for the project.
On the tenant side, Moment was represented by Josh Berg of Newmark. Flourish was represented by Billy Janetschek, Nicholas Hein, and Matthew Derose of Nomad. The life sciences tenant in stealth mode was represented by David Stockel and Taylor Walker of CBRE. The completed lease-up marks the culmination of a targeted effort to position 325 Hudson St. as a dedicated hub for AI and innovation users in Hudson Square.
The fully leased status of the building, combined with the tenant mix of AI and life sciences companies, reflects how specialized demand drivers are influencing office leasing patterns in New York’s technology-oriented submarkets.
