SoHo, Manhattan · reported office
295 Lafayette Street, New York, NY. Current occupancy not confirmed. Specific building is supported by lease reporting, the 2025 NYCEDC AI report, and a 2026 report that continues to identify OpenAI's lease there. Exact occupied-office status was not confirmed on a current company contact page, so preserve unknown occupancy rather than turning a lease into a move-in assertion. No floor or suite supplied. The SoHo label is explicitly used by the source.
