It houses a massive telecom fiber infrastructure and huge back up generators. It's pretty much perfect for Google's east coast headquarters/main operations center... and current tenants are the cream of the crop when it comes to technology and fashion/entertainment. I was on this building a few times when I lived there... it's really nice and HUGE!

Holy crap, it takes up an entire city block!!! The first time I saw it on streetview on one of the short sides I was pretty unimpressed for $1.9 billion. Now seeing how long the building actually is... the land that thing covers alone is worth a fortune. It's like a skyscraper resting on its side. Thanks for sharing man.
