21st Century Fox Inc and News Corp are in discussions with developer Larry Silverstein for a move to the last skyscraper to be built at lower Manhattan's World Trade Center site, said two people with knowledge of the matter.
The companies are in discussions to occupy about half of 2 World Trade Center, said one of the people, who asked not to be named because the negotiations are private. The companies are currently based at 1211 Avenue of the Americas in Midtown.
Landing Rupert Murdoch's Fox and News Corp would be a coup for Silverstein after he fought for more than 13 years to rebuild trade centre offices. He leased buildings at the site for 99 years just six weeks before they were destroyed in the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
