While the article tries to make the point that the tower is filling slowly, it fails to do any useful analysis to demonstrate this. Is it filling slower than the original towers? Is it filling slower than comparable office space, in NY or elsewhere? The writer never bothers to find out or inform us.
- krschultz 12y agoThat's a very good point. The Hudson Yard office towers are similar in size and amenties, with a bit worse transit access than the WTC. They are also having a hard time filling the space. In general NYC construction is mostly residential (especially luxury), it seems like there is more demand for that at the moment. Most of the tech companies and startups are housed in the space above downtown but below proper midtown, in interesting older buildings. I generally think of the "startup" zone as Madison Square Park down to Soho.
