AI company Databricks doubling footprint at 5 Bryant Park - New York Post

Databricks is doubling its footprint at 5 Bryant Park, a building owned by Savanna, to 120,000 square feet across five floors, the New York Post reported on October 18, 2026. The company, described in the report as an AI company, plans to enlarge its engineering and research headcounts. The item was carried in the publication's business section.

The report gives the new footprint as 120,000 square feet and the space as five floors, and identifies the landlord as Savanna. It states that the firm intends to expand hiring in two named functions, engineering and research. The article does not specify the size of the company's previous footprint at the address beyond describing the change as a doubling, nor does it give the lease term, the rent, or the number of employees the company expects to add. It also does not state the terms under which the additional space was secured.

The New York Post frames the item as a real-estate transaction involving a technology tenant rather than as a product, model or research announcement. The additional space and the planned hiring are the only two elements the report connects, and it draws no further link between the physical expansion and any specific output or team. No timeline is provided for either the occupancy of the additional floors or the headcount growth, and no executive or spokesperson for Databricks is named or quoted in the excerpt.
