notes |
The collapse of the telecommunications
industry has convinced New York's Rudin family to scale back its plan to
convert much of AT&T Corp.'s former headquarters building at 32 Sixth
Ave. into a telecom facility. At one point, Rudin Management Co. planned
to dedicate about half the 1.1 million-square-foot property to telecom
space. But the company is set to announce that about 250,000 square feet
of space formerly earmarked for telecom companies will be marketed as
office space for lower rents.
William Rudin, president of the company, predicts the investment will still be profitable. |
