It could go that way, considering the height of the new crop of office towers. Just look at the actual number of floors of towers like 30 Hudson, the WTC, 1 Vanderbilt, etc.

The headquarters will house 15,000 of the bank’s employees and could be between 70 and 75 stories, depending on how wide its footprint is, said a person with knowledge of the company’s plans.

As opposed to what, your useless speculation?

Putting aside the fact that there's no recession, or serious prospects for near-term recession, buildings go up all the time during recessions, especially non-speculative user-specific buildings.

I'm gonna have to agree with JMKeynes. Someone is jealous.

We're already in the process of the new headquarters getting built, including the temporary office space having already been leased, and the purchasing of air rights to build the new tower. This tower is coming down, and a new one getting built. People will speculate and pontificate until it's complete of course (these same people will be speculating that the under construction building won't be completed), but that's ok.
