Converted into acres (1.15), the area doesn't sound so impressive.  Look at it in another unit of measurement, though, and Google's 50,000 square feet of fresh office space starts to seem like a lot.

Google has had an office in New York for some time, of course, and it's expanded the space before, as well.  The company's total square footage has now passed the 500,000 square foot mark at the very least.

The Mountain View-based search giant seems to be entering another period of expansion.  Earlier this month, it signed a lease with NASA covering 42.2 acres of land.
