The foundation is already laid out, yes, but that doesn't mean the building can't be made shorter/cheaper looking.

It of course could also be made better looking/remain the same but what happened to tower 1 and 3 is likely a better indicator of what will happen to tower 2. Until someone convinces me otherwise I have no real reason to be that optimistic. I'm not trying to be a downer, just realistic.
Zappo,

It's far too premature for your usual negativity about NY. Let's see if Fox even goes here. Furthermore, if they do, BIG could easily design a tower that blows 200 Greenwich out of the water. If they don't, then maybe some other company, like Deutsche Bank, will anchor Foster's tower. The bottom line: it's far too early for you to get your — in a bunch.
