The Chelsea building is one of the biggest in the city, covering an entire city block between 8th and 9th avenue and 15th and 16th streets. It is 2.9 million square feet large. Google occupies around 550,000 square feet of the building today.<\/p>\n

Google would be paying 0 per square foot, which the Post calls “very respectable” for 2010. In 2007, it would have been closer to ,500.<\/p>\n

The Post warns<\/a> the deal could still fall apart.<\/p>\n
