Ahem:
Tor (who are my publisher -- I've visited them there) occupy one of the 22 floors of the Flatiron, along with their fifty staff (total) who publish 300 books a year. They rent, the building's been bought, and they've been served an eviction notice of sorts -- the lease almost certainly won't be renewed; they can't compete with the hotel chain who want to turn the Flatiron into a des. res.
The Flatiron may be famous as the first steel-framed skyscraper (and the view from Tom Doherty's office at sunset is awesome -- the Empire State Building, backlit!), but it's an elderly and rather badly maintained building.
