Well I don't think the Bjarke Ingels tower is going to get built at World Trade Center anyway. I think Silverstein is going back to the Foster design which the foundations already exist for. Either way nothing will be built until it makes sense to do so and they find an anchor tenant.

As far as the B.I.G. building being adapted for Jersey City, I don't see JC getting a big office tower soon. There's just not any demand for office buildings in general unless some company moved it's headquarters here instead of New York City and I'm not sure how well that building as designed would be adapted for residential use. The floor plates are probably too big.

Also the images you posted don't do the B.I.G. building justice. It's actually a decent concept that people just didn't like at WTC because it looked too precarious.

This is actually a 2021 leaked revision of the Foster design and I don't think it looks great on the WTC site because of One WTC. However, I could imagine it looking great in JC. Here's what I imagine this building to consist of:

  • Floors 1-3: Shopping center
  • Floors 4-30: Offices
  • Floors 31-55: Hotel
  • Floors 56-90: Residential
  • Floors 91-92: Observatory

I think this would be great for JC as it could be a new shopping center, 26-story office building, 24-story hotel, and 34-story residential building all in one.

I think it works in the JC skyline better than the WTC site. Plus, it could likely be more successful here.

A SketchUp model of the 2021 leaked redesigned proposal of 2 WTC placed in JC. I think it would look better in JC than on the WTC site.
