KPMGās 450K Sq.Ft NYC HQ: Employee Feedback or Round Table Cult?
KPMG just dropped a skyscraper-sized love letter to New York: a 450,000 sq. ft office in Hudson Yards, designed after 5 years of input from over 5,000 NYC employees who apparently prefer round tables to corner desks ā because nothing says power like sitting in a circle. CEO Tim Walsh flexed this new office as a 'strong recommitment' to NYC, as if a multi-floor, abacus-themed lighting installation and lobby sprinklings of Park Avenue radiator vibes weren't enough. Opened November 5, the space includes The Ignition Lab where clients solve existential crises using reconfigurable furniture. They track attendance with badge swipes, confirming if your 'two days a week' return is real or just a ghost commute.

Building a 450k sq ft office because employees said 'round tables > cubicles': KPMGās new NYC HQ is the Boardroom Hunger Games meets design therapy, with badge swipes tracking loyalty like itās Big Brother but classier.
KPMG spent 5 years and Manhattan-sized bucks making sure no one ever gets lost in 450,000 sq ft of forced office bonding. Round tables, murals, and an abacus-themed chandelier because nothing says accounting like nostalgia and corporate group hugs.
This isnāt an office, itās a theme park for consultants who missed 'community' and really wanted employee-led design thinking revamped as a breakroom makeover. The badge swipe attendance check just makes it feel like gym class all over again.
