If they were smart they would push to go mixed use and make the top 10 floors/diamond section residential. Those condos would $ell and they would have less office to lease plus a different business model for financing.
I don’t think it would take too much work to redesign the top to be a dozen or so penthouses
That would be awesome. Would there be any stigma or fear leftover about living on Ground zero though? It would still be a potential terrorist target I would think.
I think that we’ll have a different design which has lots of outdoor terraces and setbacks. I’ll gladly take a version of 270 Park with even more setbacks for different tenants.

That would be cool. I could live with a change like that. A flat top with no setbacks of any kind will be a massive disappointment though. Let's hope they don't build another box.

That won't happen. This tower will be Larry's legacy. I expect something amazing.
It would be so cool to have something that echos 1 WTC architecturally. Like the Liberty Place Towers in Philly. Siblings rather than twins. 1 WTC actually sort of seems like a distilled Foster design.

I have a fear they'll cut the height of Tower 2 to be in between 1 and 3. While I'm glad 2WTC may see the light of day in the near future I must say this whole development has been kinda disappointing over the years. 1WTC's horrid antenna doesn't help.
“Office buildings are our factories – whether for tech, creative or traditional industries we must continue to grow our modern factories to create new jobs,” said United States Senator Chuck Schumer.
Hopefully after a decade and a half this tower finally materializes and turns out nice. There hasn't been another building that has preoccupied me more over the years than 2 WTC.

Definitely. Not only did this version of 1WTC have a legitimate spire but an architectural covering over the communication rings; something dropped even earlier on.
^^ Why do you even care that something is built there if you don't care what it is? Anyone could throw up a glass box and call it a day, it wouldn't mean anything relative to the rest of the site. What would a filler building mean to you?
The diamonds are in every way perfect for the complex, hope they're kept.
