PayPal is in a good place, right now.
Markets Insider reported its latest earnings report sent its stock price up by 6.04%. Meanwhile, its total number of active users has surpassed 210 million people around the globe.
At the same time, the San Jose-based company is doubling the size of its New York office, adding two new floors to its West Village location.
Business Insider recently visited PayPal’s Manhattan office — which it shares with Venmo. PayPal acquired Venmo when it bought parent company Braintree for $ 800 million in 2014, according to Fortune.
Here’s what we saw:
We arrived at the company’s West Village digs on a balmy afternoon last week. PayPal spokesperson Amanda Coffee showed around as the office prepared to celebrate its expansion.

First, we headed up to the office’s private rooftop, which has a prime view of the Hudson River. Employees can gather here to work or mingle during happy hours or office events.

The building initially started out as Venmo’s headquarters. When eBay and PayPal split in 2015, the latter relocated from Chelsea and moved in with its recent acquisition.
