Suno AI Music Platform Secures 12,000 sq ft Office in New York City

AI music startup Suno has taken a 12,048‑square‑foot lease on the fifth floor of 515 West 20th Street in Manhattan’s West Chelsea district. The space marks Suno’s first New York office; the landlord was represented by Michael Segerman of Current Real Estate Advisors and Eagle Point Properties, while JLL represented Suno. Rent terms were not disclosed, but nearby rents are in the high $30s per square foot. The lease follows a recent copyright infringement judgment against Suno by Germany’s GEMA, which found the company’s song‑generation service violated copyrights.

Separately, a new guide outlines steps for reducing the hidden carbon footprint of generative‑AI operations. It advises consolidating and batching prompts, reusing AI outputs, filtering unnecessary data, and thinking before prompting. The guide emphasizes that most energy use occurs during model training, with ongoing electricity consumption during inference, and recommends “Green Ops” practices to make AI workflows more sustainable.

Both pieces reflect growing attention to the operational and environmental dimensions of the rapidly expanding generative‑AI sector.
