SharkNinja has signed a multi-year lease for over 14,000 square feet at 41 Madison Avenue, a Rudin managed office tower, with views of both the East River and Hudson River. This strategic expansion into New York City capitalizes on the deep pool of creative and design-focused talent in the area. The Creative Design Hub will feature a dedicated studio for design prototyping, a beauty studio for product testing and consumer insight research, and dedicated spaces for content creation, by both in-house teams and influencer partners. SharkNinja's investment in New York City's creative economy is supported by up to $920,000 in performance-based Excelsior Jobs Program tax credits from Empire State Development.
"SharkNinja's decision to establish a creative hub in New York City highlights the unique advantages our state offers to innovative companies,” said Hope Knight, Empire State Development President, CEO and Commissioner. “Through ESD’s Excelsior Jobs Program, we are supporting the creation of high-wage jobs while strengthening New York's position as a premier destination for design and technology companies. This project demonstrates how strategic investments can attract industry leaders to New York State, driving economic growth and innovation while capitalizing on our world-class talent pool."
In the heart of Manhattan’s iconic Flatiron District—a neighborhood renowned for its deep-rooted ties to design—41 Madison Avenue stands as a vibrant hub for the global housewares industry. This premier design destination seamlessly blends the area’s rich heritage with the cutting edge of consumer product innovation, making it the perfect home for SharkNinja’s new Creative Design Hub.
