The Teleport encompasses a 100-acre business park designed with a suburban layout, situated between New York State Route 440 and Staten Island's Bulls Head neighborhood within New York City. It comprises five Class A office and specialized facilities, collectively offering 700,000 square feet of space, alongside parcels designated for future development.

Originally established in the mid-1980s through a collaboration between the New York City government and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ), which continues to oversee its management under contract, the Teleport specializes in cutting-edge technologies. It provides high-speed voice, data, and video transmission services supported by satellite and fiber optic infrastructure.

In 2001, AT&T, the largest occupant of the Teleport, consolidated 4,000 staff members from two on-site office buildings. These properties were later sold in 2009 to Nicotra Group, LLC and subsequently renamed Corporate Commons. This location now accommodates prominent tenants including St Paul's School of Nursing.

Control over the remaining development land remains with the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) and PANYNJ. The campus saw expansion in 2017 with new office and medical facilities added, as well as the introduction of a rooftop agricultural installation.
