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. |
