Reply to comment by MeanMrBiter in Pandora Moving North American Headquarters From Baltimore to NYC by mightyIllusion

From the same source,

“Pandora will keep its nearly 90,000 square feet in Baltimore, expanding its North American office footprint with its Times Square deal.

Pandora plans to move into 1540 Broadway next year and keep its downtown Baltimore offices at 250 West Pratt Street until 2026, according to an announcement from Pandora.”

How about we read articles and process information before we go off on tangents.

Not really a tangent. They are keeping Baltimore office until 2026 when their lease expires. They will not renew. Is that office even occupied now? I know they already downsized it at one point. The building in Baltimore will have a giant hole in it with 90K SF gone and an employ base no longer there.

Companies move all the time. Especially to NYC. Pandora has been here since 2009. At least they fulfilled their lease agreement. Good for them for expanding when other companies are completely remote. I don’t see this as a “Baltimore is doomed” situation.

Yup. Given the relative size and prices of the two properties, it's entirely possible that the reason behind this is just "Pandora would've always preferred to be in NYC, and now that their in-office staff has gotten small enough, they can afford it." In any case, there's no new ax to grind here.
