THE HEADQUARTERS · NEW YORK TIMES BUILDING
One floor in 2016, about 395,000 sq ft today
In 2016 Datadog moved from a Flatiron-district office to a full floor high in the New York Times Building in Midtown. Its own team planned the kitchen down to the coffee station — testing water fountains across Manhattan by timing how fast they filled a bottle. The headquarters has since grown to about 395,000 sq ft, and in 2023 the top two floors and rooftop were scanned for a new office plan and fit-out.
- 620 8th Avenue, 45th Floor
- ≈ 395,000 sq ft (≈ 36,697 m²)
- Leases to June 2033
- Building: Renzo Piano
- Renewable energy certificates since 2024
The New York Times Building, 620 Eighth Avenue
Datadog's headquarters is at 620 8th Avenue: it took one full floor high in the tower in 2016 and has grown up the building since.
The first floor in the Times tower (2016–17)
In 2016 Datadog moved to a full floor high atop the New York Times Building. The cafeteria is large enough for the whole company, and all-hands meetings took place there.
