The top looks gorgeous and so does the base. It looks as good as Hudson Yards does, which is saying a lot. I think its great, better than I expected. The height certainly adds to the wow factor.

Given that the Hudson Yards towers are getting underway with high profile tenants (or potential tenants), and the foundation work has already been finished on 2 World Trade (with 3 World Trade likely to rise by early next year)...how likely is it that a tower of this size gets built within the next 5 to 10 years...will there be a realistic need for that much office space (assuming everything that was said about HY and WTC)?

This will be prime office space. And yes, there is a need - Manhattan's office stock is so old that more and more (big) companies are considering a move to a new building.

I don't see why it's "that much office space".
Manhattan has 500 million square feet of office space, so even a 2 million square foot tower wouldn't even be one half of 1% of the overall office market.

Probably for more modern space. Since alot of the space is very old. Either way it will help keep NYC competitive vs London, Shanghai, ect. More the better !

To piggy back of what hunser said, almost 90% of Manhattan's commercial real estate on a square foot basis predates 1970, so there's a lot of pent up demand for new space. Plus, this is about as prime a location as you can get. Park Avenue is probably a little bit more desirable, but this is just about as good a location as you could imagine. Should have no difficulty getting a tenant.
The picture makes it seem like it dwarfs the Chrysler building. The only problem (as with the HY North/South towers) is that it's too bloated looking, which throws off the whole design.
If they slimmed the mid section a bit, it'd be a nice looking tower.
I don't see this surviving the design portion of the approvals process, but they have to get things underway, and have a few years to get us a design.
