We need someone from YIMBY to go and ask him directly.
Fireside chat with Sliverstein Properties. Oof.
Youâre not gonna come over here from SkyscraperCity and do the same thing by spamming photos of the old design, not crediting them, and partially misinforming people by not using dates of old articles.
(user this comment was directed at was removed), not towards The_Dutchman lol
Those were deleted. Oh boyâŚ
For a second I thought what did I do wrong (i posted that video at Skyscrapercity as well)
No worries. It wasnât you lol.
Someone else was posting and spamming things from years ago. Things known 15 years ago.
Yeah, and that same person got banned from Skyscrapercity a few days ago
Every morning I have like 10 action items in the mod inbox, so the work is increasing or at least within the two months!
But hey⌠at least we can provide you guys and gals a clean site with info.
99% of the members here are great⌠its that 1 percent that requires the work.
appreciate what you mods doâ Most of the time the freak posts are cleaned up pretty fast. Iâve seen big subreddits do worse
I think Iâm in with the 10 as well.
You almost always do it alone ?
Some are in the 700 club, but anyways, back to 200 Greenwich.
Amex is looking to move/increase itâs footprint to 1 million sqft from itâs current location at 200 Vesey St (3 Brookfield Place/3 WFC).
âSilverstein must be drooling,â an industry insider said of Larry Silverstein, who needs a large commitment from a tenant to get his 2 World Trade Center back on track. âIt would be the best site for Amex because the employees are already used to the area.â
This would be a great deal for all parties involved, AMEX, Silverstein, and Brookfield. SS & BF are already working together for 5 WTC, why not team up to build 2 WTC too. The amount AMEX is looking for already doubles the sqft Silverstein is looking for to finance 2 WTC of the current 400-500K sqft, itâs perfect.
Letâs get it. This is the perfect chance. Silverstein better not let this chance slip away.
iâm trying to think of other possible landing spots but Iâm not coming up with anything. Maybe an office park in the suburbs like Mastercard.
They wouldnât probably go for an ultra-high price rent in Hudson Yards or Park Ave, WTC has been renting way less, and I wouldnât expect them to go to the suburbs either as they stuck to Brookfield Place even after sustaining fatalities during 9/11. An expansion to 2WTC would be a no-brainer.
I agree, Amex has been at Brookfield Place since the WFC was completed in the 80s, itâs evident that theyâve believed staying in the city is their best option and moving across the street is a great option to keep within that belief.
Hopefully some reassuring news for this tower.
I wouldnât celebrate just yet, nothingâs happened. Amex hasnât specifically said anything about potential locations yet.
1 million sqft at 2 WTC is slightly over a 1/3 of the overall sqft (2.86 million), that would be a pretty big deal and it also would bring into question if they would want the latest design or want a new design.
