New York we love you, but we're moving Downtown...

After residing at number 4 Times Square for fourteen years Conde Nast are on the move again, this time, Downtown. The publishing giant have announced that they will set up home at number 1 World Trade Centre (aka Freedom Tower) - the new 1,776 ft sky scraper currently under construction at Ground Zero. Those swanky magazine editors are rumoured to take up one million square foot of the 2.6 million square foot building sometime in 2014, and are hoped to work their magic on that area like they did when they moved to Times Square in 1996.

Combining those suited and booted bankers and fashion's hottest can only turn out to be a good thing right? Michael Moss, professor of urban planning at NYU said;

"We will have the best paid bankers and best dressed editors across the street from each other, what young ambitious person would not want to be downtown now?"
