NEW YORK — Conde Nast, publisher of magazines such as the New Yorker and Vanity Fair, said it is near a deal to move its headquarters to downtown Manhattan’s 1 World Trade Center. That would make Conde Nast an anchor tenant in the 1,776-foot skyscraper, which would be the nation’s tallest, under construction at the site of the 2001 terrorist attacks and set for completion in 2013.
Conde Nast has been in talks to rent space at the new building since last year. It will lease about 1 million square feet, The New York Times reported. The deal, under which the publisher would pay about $2 billion over 25 years, is to be voted on May 26 by the Port Authority, the newspaper said.
The publisher would move about 5,000 employees to floors 20 through 41 sometime in 2014. Bloomberg News
