Manhattan · reported office
8 West 40th Street, Floor 20, New York, NY 10018. Current occupancy not confirmed. Historical physical office is corroborated by landlord-attributed lease reporting, and Emergence primary DPA identifies Emergence as a d/b/a of Merlyn Mind at this exact address. The October 2024 extension was for two years, so November 2026 occupancy cannot be assumed; current hiring reviewed is in Irvine, California. Keep occupancy unknown and preserve the dated evidence rather than labeling a legal address current. No neighborhood inferred from being near Bryant Park.
