Goldman Sachs built the tower in the early 2000s in order to consolidate employees who were scattered across Lower Manhattan, but ended up opening a new headquarters in the Financial District and moving the employees back. Originally, the 1.4 million-square-foot tower was intended to house only Goldman employees.

New York Life would receive $33.9 million in incentives over 10 years from the New Jersey Economic Development Corporation for the Jersey City relocation, including moving 325 jobs currently located in Parsippany and adding another 300. The potential move would start in early 2016. [Bloomberg] — Tess Hofmann
