Bilt Announces New Headquarters in New York City's Meatpacking District

• Nation’s largest housing and neighborhood commerce platform deepens commitment to New York with move to 837 Washington Street
• New York’s Empire State Development Supports New Headquarters and Job Creation

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bilt, the nation’s largest housing and neighborhood commerce platform that rewards members both in the home and neighborhood, today announced plans for new headquarters at 837 Washington Street in Manhattan's dynamic and world-famous Meatpacking District. Following a 15-year lease signed on September 17, 2025, the expansion reinforces Bilt's deep commitment to New York City and positions the American-made company for continued growth as it serves over 5 million members nationwide.

Extensive renovation is now underway at the new facility, with the Bilt team expected to move in during the early part of 2026. As part of its commitment to the neighborhood, Bilt will also open a Neighborhood Cafe within the space to welcome Bilt Members and anyone and everyone in the Meatpacking District - embodying the company's mission of creating rewarding neighborhood experiences.

As a proud New York company with over 200 in-office employees and growing, Bilt chose the Meatpacking District because there is no better neighborhood in Manhattan to represent the company's mission of connecting people to rewarding experiences in their homes and neighborhoods. The iconic district perfectly embodies Bilt's vision of transforming neighborhoods into thriving commerce ecosystems.

The new headquarters is supported by Empire State Development to facilitate job creation and economic growth as the company scales its operations in New York.

Following a $250 million funding round in July 2025 that valued the company at $10.75 billion, Bilt continues to expand its comprehensive platform that has revolutionized housing and neighborhood commerce across America.

Platform Growth and Innovation

Bilt has built the nation's largest comprehensive loyalty platform connecting where you live with your neighborhood. The company's network now includes 1-in-4 apartment buildings across the United States, partnerships with over 40,000 neighborhood merchants, and relationships with 70% of the nation's top 100 property managers.

The platform is on track to process over $100 billion annually in housing spend while driving over $10 billion annually to neighborhood merchants, creating a full loyalty ecosystem for the home and neighborhood that serves all residents with any payment method of their choice.

Bilt's AI-powered neighborhood concierge helps connect residents to local merchants with personalized recommendations, making neighborhoods feel like exclusive members clubs where locals receive best-in-class hospitality, unique benefits, and services like automatic FSA/HSA reimbursements.

Commitment to New York Growth

The state-of-the-art Meatpacking District headquarters features conference facilities, collaboration spaces, a rooftop lounge, and prime transit access. The expansion will create dozens of new positions across engineering, product development, marketing, and operations teams, reinforcing Bilt's commitment to growing American jobs in New York City.

The planned Neighborhood Cafe will serve as a community hub, welcoming both Bilt Members and neighborhood residents. This initiative reflects Bilt's core belief that the best neighborhoods are built through meaningful connections and shared experiences.

The new Bilt HQ and cafe reflect the combined vision of David Rockwell and Bilt’s Creative Director Julien Albertini, bringing together Rockwell Group’s global design expertise with Bilt’s in-house creativity.

As Bilt scales beyond 200 employees with the early 2026 move-in, the facility will enhance the company's technology capabilities, including advanced payment processing, mobile platform development, data analytics, and partnership integration systems - all built and operated from New York.
