Im not only talking about the yards but everything from trump place on the UWS to Tibeca in the next 20 years. Theres room for a lot of development and as for Nimbys,if someone like Chase,Goldman Saks,GE etc. wants to build they will. Money talks.

I have faith someone would finish the Metropolitan Life North Building sooner or later.

Hi everyone! I am new here at the SkyscraperPage Forum and I have read all of the numbers of posts by you guys!

I just wanted to give a HUGE thank you to everyone who is submitting in these pictures of the magnificent One World Trade Center!

I also just wanted to introduce myself and let you guys know I am a huge fan!

[JesseNewYorkCity]

Personally I love skyscrapers in NYC and I wouldn't care how many they built. They could build 30 3,100 ft buildings and I would still be happy.

I have to personally say; the more buildings Manhattan has, the more better the skyline would look!

Thanks for the compliments; however, unless my pictures are linked back to the original page, people can steal my work, which is copyright protected. I've had problems with this before and wish to avoid any unpleasantries...I take the time to go to the places, set up, and give the forum some great shots, but they are mine and I wish to keep it that way...

Citi looking for Manhattan office space

(Reuters) - Citigroup Inc (C.N) is in the early stages of looking for about 1 million square feet of office space in Manhattan and considering space at the World Trade Center site and at the Hudson Yards, according to two people familiar with the matter.

Citigroup currently leases over 1 million square feet in Manhattan from Boston Properties Inc (BXP.N), including its headquarters at 399 Park Avenue and a building at 601 Lexington Avenue.

It also has a long lease for 2.6 million square feet at 390 Greenwich Street in lower Manhattan. That building is owned by SL Green (SLG.N) and SITQ, the real estate unit of Canadian pension fund Caisse de depot et placement du Quebec.

Bloomberg reported earlier on Tuesday that Citigroup was considering leasing space at the World Trade Center site.

Hudson Yards is a 26-acre site on the west side of Manhattan that Related Cos and Oxford Properties are developing for office, retail and residential uses. The development -- sited on top of the rail yards -- is expected to accommodate much of Manhattan's growth over the next 30 years.

Citigroup spokeswoman Shannon Bell said in an email: "Although we are always in touch with the real estate community about space that is coming on the market over the next few years, we have no plans to change our footprint in New York City."

Hopefully they will lease space at Four World Trade Center. From what I have heard One World Trade Center is already almost fully occupied by potential tenants.

In case you haven't noticed, that means nothing to American developers anymore; the United States is no longer in a "skyscraper race". We have already proven ourselves over the last 100 years to be a global economic titan, we have no need to build empty office towers ala Dubai or China to prove to the world we are somebody. We are, in fact, what other emergeing world economies hope to become. The theory behind and image associated with emerging countries building supertalls is to prove that they are "just as advanced as America". Plain and simple.

...New York will never hold the "world's tallest building" title again.

Well, since "World's Tallest Building" has become a symbol of Third World pretension... why would New York WANT it, after all?

No, not Four World Trade Center. If you want Towers 2 and 3 to be built, cross your fingers and hope the tenants will move in there, instead of Tower 4. Silverstein wants those tenants at those 2 towers or else there's a chance that the construction would be delayed- or even worst, not built. And I agree with Silverstein on this one. I mean who's going to build a skyscraper when no one is going to move into them?

Going back on topic:

Tower 4 is already being leased by alot of tenants. I don't know much or how many tenants are moving in there, but if it's being built right now, there's a pretty good chance that it's attracting alot of tenants.

Actually UBS Bank is planning to lease room in Three WTC.

Yes, but just one corporation leasing space isn't going to make the tower rise faster. Who's going to build a tower with 5 or 6 floors rented out of 80 floors (3WTC)? They need lots.

Since when does having a building taller then WTC mean that it has to be a WTB? You can be higher than 1776 feet now a days and well below the Burj Kalifas pinnacle.

I personally think that as space gets more and more scarce, which it will, skyscrapers are going to become more and more of a necesity. The trend of supertalls is already beginning... NYC has never had 10 supertall builidngs planned at the same time (there are about that many)

NYC is obviously going in the right direction skyscraperwise.

1WTC
2WTC
3WTC
15 Penn Plaza
Manhattan West
Gira Sole
Tower Verre
Carnegie 57
225 57th or something
4WTC

hell there are/will be more. I think people are being way too pesimistic

theres also the hudson yards development and the drake hotel

What UBS is looking at would be more like 25-30 floors plus the trading floors in the base. That's more than enough to get silverstein the financing he needs.
Now if only Citi will take half of Tower 2....

UBS seeks just under 40 per cent of T3, which is more than enough to get it built.

The prominence of this building is certainly being and will be diminished by Beekman, and later tower 2.
