To paraphrase Denzel Washington, King Kong doesnā€™t have anything on Agoda. Taking a page out of the giant monsterā€™s book, Agoda, an online travel company, is climbing the Empire State Building. Formerly occupying 7,600 sf on the iconic buildingā€™s 47th floor, the company has moved to a 27,000 sf space on the 66th floor.

The tech-based company wanted a headquarters space with an open floor plan that is more conducive to collaboration and a better workflow. The space features an industrial aesthetic with an exposed ceiling, modern concrete flooring, exposed steel columns, and 360-degree views.

The deal for the new space is for 10 years. The build team consisted of Vocon Architecture, MG Engineering, and James E. Fitzgerald, Inc.
