"The New York Times Company will fully benefit from Gensler coming on board at this early stage in the project".
"We have put together an unbeatable combination of architects, ensuring that the result will be a great work environment for our employees in an exciting new building." "As workplace strategists, we recognize that office design plays a pivotal role in encouraging and supporting new ways of working," says Robin Klehr Avia, vice president and managing principal of Gensler's New York office".
"At Gensler, we want our work to satisfy functional requirements and perhaps more importantly, it should enrich the human spirit".
"We look forward to collaborating with The New York Times Company, Renzo Piano Building Workshop and Fox and Fowle in the design of this landmark new headquarters".
The proposed building is expected to be 650 feet high, with 1.3 million square feet of space, located on a 200-by-400 site within the footprint of the 42nd Street Development Project.
The New York Times Company, working with its development partner, Forest City Ratner, is in the final stages of negotiating for the purchase of the land from the State of New York.
The Company would occupy approximately half of this space and Forest City Ratner would lease half of the building's 1.3 million square feet to commercial and retail tenants.
Contingent upon approval by the Times Company's Board of Directors, the Company and Forest City Ratner plan to begin construction late this year or in early 2002.
Occupancy would occur in 2005.
