Bloomberg campaign moves headquarters to Times Square
Politico
Mike Bloombergs rapidly expanding presidential campaign is moving to Times Square, setting up its headquarters at the old New York Times building on West 43rd Street.
The relocation from the building that historically housed Bloomberg Philanthropies comes as the billionaire self-funder and former New York mayors campaign pushes past 300 staffers at his headquarters and more than 200 more now active in the states, officials confirmed.
Bloombergs new offices, first reported by POLITICO and part of an email he planned to share with staffers Monday, includes an open layout with a desk out in the open for Bloomberg, a move in keeping with his ethos as a businessman and mayor.
In another throwback move, the space spread out across the entire eighth floor (two floors above the first-through-sixth floors owned by presidential son-in-law Jared Kushner) will also feature several countdown clocks showing the days, hours, minutes and seconds to Super Tuesday and the General Election a nod to his unorthodox strategy to skip the first four states.
