Bilt Plans New York City Headquarters Operations

10/14/2025
Bilt, a housing and neighborhood commerce platform, plans to establish operations in Manhattan, New York City, New York. The project is expected to create 625 jobs.

The company will transform a vacant building, located at 837 Washington Street in the Meatpacking District, into a new 58,000-square-foot headquarters which will support its expanding operations in artificial intelligence, engineering, product development, data analytics and partnership integration.

“New York City is where Bilt was born, and it's where we'll continue to grow,” said Bilt Founder and CEO Ankur Jain . “This 15-year commitment to the Meatpacking District represents our unwavering belief in New York as the epicenter of innovation and the perfect place to build an American-made platform that connects people to rewarding experiences in their homes and neighborhoods. There's no better neighborhood than the Meatpacking District to showcase what happens when commerce, community and culture come together.”

The project will be supported by up to $6.25 million in performance-based Excelsior Jobs Program tax credits from Empire State Development.

“Bilt's expansion represents the kind of forward-thinking investment that strengthens New York's position as the global capital of fintech innovation,” noted Empire State Development President, CEO and Commissioner Hope Knight. “By choosing to grow in New York and create hundreds of high-paying jobs, Bilt is demonstrating confidence in our state's unparalleled talent pool and business ecosystem. Empire State Development is committed to ensuring that companies like Bilt can continue to innovate, expand and generate lasting benefits for communities across the state.”

Bilt’s platform includes a suite of tools for rent payments, dining, travel and neighborhood commerce — enabling consumers to earn rewards on everyday housing and lifestyle expenses.
