Last week, the Bank of New York Mellon said it is considering moving the company’s Wall Street headquarters in the first quarter to either a 2.7 million-square-foot tower at 225 Liberty Street, or a 410,000-square-foot waterfront building at 70 Hudson Street in Jersey City, as previously reported.

JPMorgan announced in February it could cut about 8,000 total jobs in consumer and community banking. [Capital NY]Mark Maurer
