No. The Port Authority building they bought in 2008 or 2009 had (still has?) a huge telco exchange space, which was why Double lick had been there. 60 Hudson St is the other bug exchange point, it’s maybe a half mile from St John’s Terminal.
I agree, but it's a weird location for office space. Not quite a transit dead zone, but not particularly great either. Wonder if they'd try to get a ferry stop added at Pier 40.
