oogle has extended its lease at 85 Tenth Avenue, a property jointly owned by Vornado Realty Trust and Related Companies. The tech giant will occupy an additional 300,000 square feet of space at the 11-story red brick building, which was built as a warehouse in 1913.

    Google has made significant investments in the area, purchasing Chelsea Market for $2.4 billion and 111 Eighth Avenue for $1.77 billion in 2010. It also paid $2.1 billion for its new headquarters at 550 Washington Street when it was under construction.
