Back in 2015, Foster + Partners' design was shelved for a more favorable by the Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG). At the time, it looked like News Corporation and 21st Century Fox were slated to lease the building but backed out a year later. "Now that BIG’s quirky tower of stacked boxes has no takers, the old Foster design is being 'significantly modified to be more reflective of contemporary needs and taste,'" said developer Larry Silverstein, according to the New York Post.
Foster's initial design didn't fit the needs for the two media giants, which prompted the redesign by BIG, which focused specifically on the needs of these tenants. As tenants fill up the existing towers, Silverstein's next focus will be acquiring tenants for Tower 2, which he's suggested might begin construction without first signing some. But, as the New York Post reports, "if he wants a tenant first, a new Foster design might be just the thing to land one. Foster’s old vision might be too stodgy for today’s market. BIG’s, meanwhile, may be too esoteric."
