15 AN EVOLVING NEIGHBORHOOD // CREATIVE AND TECH COMPANIES LIKE BEING IN HUDSON SQUARE, BUT HAVE NEEDS WHICH ARE CURRENTLY NOT BEING ADDRESSED
“Hudson Square has become a true creative neighborhood, but all that creativity is inside the office buildings. It needs to be reflected in the streets. We need the stores, cafes and cultural spaces where relationships are made and ideas are shared from early morning until late at night.”
-David Shanks, CEO Penguin Group (USA)
“Our employee base is relatively young. Encouraging more retail outlets, restaurants, and cafes would be extremely beneficial for them. Today, there’s few of these types of establishments available within walking distance of our office. Including more residential inventory would also spur demand for these services. Instead the sidewalks here roll up quite early. An improved look and feel and better quality of life in the neighborhood would be very attractive to our employees.”
-John Cucci, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Viacom Entertainment Group
“Hudson Square has great buildings and really good transportation for companies like mine. But my employees demand more. They want an active street life, places to shop at lunchtime and after work, as well as restaurants and bars where they can meet others and share ideas.”
-Bill Koenigsberg, CEO and Founder of Horizon Media
