Google expands in Miami after Page & Brin's $225m Florida homes; leased space quadruples

​Sergey Brin and Larry Page have deepened their ties to South Florida. Together, the Google co-founders have purchased waterfront homes worth more than $225 million in the state. Meanwhile, their company, Google parent Alphabet, has reportedly followed suit by expanding its Miami office footprint more than fourfold. According to a Bloomberg report, the tech giant has increased its leased office space from about 10,000 square feet to roughly 45,000 square feet.​The office expansion came shortly after the two billionaires, whose combined wealth exceeds $573 billion as reported by the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, established their homes in Florida. The news agency reported that the Miami office expansion was partially driven by the co-founders' recent residential real estate purchases. Howev
