Publishing giant Conde Nast settled into their first day of work in their new offices yesterday One
World Trade Center, a 104-story, $3.9 billion skyscraper that dominates the Manhattan skyline. The publishing giant becomes the first commercial tenant in America’s tallest building.
"The New York City skyline is whole again," says Patrick Foye, executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which owns both the building and the 16-acre World Trade Center site.
Only about 170 of his company's 3,400 employees are moving in now, filling five floors of the tower, said Patricia Rockenwagner, a Conde Nast vice president and spokeswoman. About 3,000 more will arrive by early 2015.
The building is 60-percent leased, with another 80,000 square feet going to the advertising firm Kids Creative, the stadium operator Legends Hospitality, the BMB Group investment adviser, and Servcorp, a provider of executive offices.
The government's General Services Administration signed up for 275,000 square feet and the China Center, a trade and cultural facility, will cover 191,000 square feet.
