A former industrial building, 325 Hudson was redeveloped in 1998 into a telecommunications center and acquired by the partnership earlier this year. Located in New York City’s prime telecom center with immediate connectivity to transatlantic cables and the fiber-dense Hudson Street corridor, the building offers critical features, such as heavy floor loading capacity, 12-foot ceilings, as well as robust HVAC, power, and back-up power supply.
