(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Just a few months after Google (www.google.com) acquired Manhattan’s 111 8th Avenue data center carrier building, it appears as though the company is looking to significantly expand on its office space within the building, according to a report by Data Center Knowledge.

In December, the company acquired the massive Internet hub, which spans 2.9 million square feet and is estimated to be worth $1.9 billion.

Originally the headquarters of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the building was sold to Google by a group comprised of real estate investment company Jamestown, Taconic Investment Partners and New York State Common Retirement Fund.
