Reply to comment by DfcukinLite in Pandora Moving North American Headquarters From Baltimore to NYC by mightyIllusion

Not really a tangent. They are keeping Baltimore office until 2026 when their lease expires. They will not renew. Is that office even occupied now? I know they already downsized it at one point. The building in Baltimore will have a giant hole in it with 90K SF gone and an employ base no longer there.

Companies move all the time. Especially to NYC. Pandora has been here since 2009. At least they fulfilled their lease agreement. Good for them for expanding when other companies are completely remote. I don’t see this as a “Baltimore is doomed” situation.

Yup. Given the relative size and prices of the two properties, it's entirely possible that the reason behind this is just "Pandora would've always preferred to be in NYC, and now that their in-office staff has gotten small enough, they can afford it." In any case, there's no new ax to grind here.
