The overall plans for the site here are divided into two phases. The current project is phase one and another facility, a 200,000-sf office building, has not yet begun and ground will only be broken when CNBC decides it is needed. Both phases constitute a 500,000-sf project.

The building under construction now is made up of a 17,500-sf studio in column-free, 35-foot high space, 40,000-sf of technical support space, a fitness center, an employee dining area and office space. Part of the upcoming fit-out includes the installation of the studio-related technical equipment.

CDI/East's president and CEO, Alan T. Kessler, commented at the topping off, "We are delighted to have had the opportunity to offer this site to CNBC for development, and pleased to serve as developer for this state-of-the-art facility in what is one of the New York metropolitan area's most desirable locations."
