Macy’s Inc. (NYSE: M) has revealed plans to build an office building above its biggest store in New York and modernize the surrounding area.
It was recently announced that Macy’s would build an office tower adjacent to its largest store.

Specifically, the retailer plans to upgrade the existing entrances to the Herald Square subway station, add wider doors, and offer more accessible parking. As part of this plan, Macy proposes creating a car-free zone inside the existing space. A recently added nearly 140,000 square meter office tower and planned infrastructure improvements are expected to create 16,290 jobs, resulting in annual production of $ 4.29 billion.
Macy’s Inc. (M) may see an opportunity to grow since it will be near an office complex with thousands of employees and a pedestrian zone of attraction. People are expected to return to their offices later this year, which will lead to a rebound in demand for office space in Manhattan and increase the value of the company’s planned office tower. It is also expected that Macy’s will sell the project immediately to the developer, which will allow the debt to be reduced.
