A spate of media reports over the past two or three days have speculated about whether Silverstein Properties Inc. will build the 3 World Trade Center tower to its planned 80-story height, or will cap it at seven.
They also wonder what this indicates, or doesn’t, about the Class A office market in Lower Manhattan.
The original master development plan agreed to in August 2010 specifically stated that the construction of the 3 WTC tower, as opposed to its retail-oriented podium, would be conditioned on the extent of office pre-leasing.
