Employees from Estée Lauder
Companies Inc.’s Long Island office
will move to a building in Long Is-land
City.
Information technology employees
based at the company’s Melville office
will move to a space at 27-01 Queens
Plaza North, according to Newsday.
Less than 10 percent of employees
in Long Island will be asked to move,
a spokesperson told the paper.
“Long Island City is a growing hub
for startups, tech and digital compa-nies,
and our team will greatly benefit
from being at the center of this fast-paced
and vibrant environment,” Mi-chael
Smith, chief information officer,
wrote in a memo obtained by Newsday.
The company owns multiple build-ings
in Melville, which are used for
research and development, manu-facturing,
finance and a factory for
fragrance and skin care product pro-duction.
The Long Island City location
is home to JetBlue and MetLife.
The neighborhood has managed
to attract a number of large com-panies
including Bloomingdale’s,
Ralph Lauren and WeWork, a co-working
space.
LIC Partnership was recently
awarded a state grant to study how
Long Island City could accommodate
new companies in the life sciences
and biotech industries. Mayor Bill de
Blasio announced in 2016 that he
would look to bring a life sciences
campus to either Long Island City
or Manhattan.
Long Island City is a growing
hub for startups, tech and
digital companies, and our
team will greatly benefit
from being at the center
of this fast-paced and
vibrant environment.
