Though the $3B, 1.7M SF project only just began a likely three-year construction process this year, it already leased 200K SF to TD Bank and 35K SF to DZ Bank and DVB Bank from Germany. Now, SL Green is reportedly negotiating with global investment firm The Carlyle Group to take four floors of the 56-story tower, the New York Post reports. Consulting firm McKinsey & Co. is also reportedly considering One Vanderbilt.

In addition to its confirmed and potential office clients, One Vanderbilt has already locked in restaurateur Daniel Boulud for an 11K SF restaurant on the second floor. Despite these recent deals and the building's location a stone's throw from Grand Central Terminal, the 1,400-foot supertall has its doubters.
