We know the base was designed to accomodate trading floors and the retail. It's probably a question of whether FOX will have the street front studio space as they currently have,
and all the networks like to have. Even as trading floors, there was talk that they weren't big enough in either tower 2 or 3.
But, if they couldn't make it work in the Hudson Yards, they have no choice but to make it happen here. That's another positive about these towers potentially landing tenants.
Whenever one gets taken off the table, there are fewer options for those companies looking to be anchor tenants in these new office towers. After this, everything would have
to shift back to the Hudson Yards, and eventually Midtown East.
