NEW YORK CITY-After One World Trade Center secured Conde Nast as its anchor tenant last week, Silverstein Properties’ Three World Trade may soon follow suit. A source tells Bloomberg that UBS AG may relocate its Stamford, CT investment bank location to the World Trade Center by 2015.

The Bloomberg article notes that UBS is currently in discussions with developer Larry Silverstein to occupy approximately 800,000 square feet at Three World Trade, which will rise 1,140 feet at 175 Greenwich Street as part of the 16-acre redevelopment site. UBS spokeswoman Torie von Alt tells GlobeSt.com that a potential relocation to Three World Trade is “speculation” and the company declines to comment on any negotiations. A spokesperson for Silverstein Properties also declined to comment to GlobeSt.com for this article.

The 71-story tower, bound by Greenwich, Church, Dey and Cortlandt Streets, will include 2.1-million square feet of office space and five trading floors. The location of the building will be opposite from the 9/11 Memorial. Another source tells Bloomberg that several employees from equities and investment banking have already relocated from the Stamford office to UBS’ Manhattan locations at 1285 Avenue of the Americas and 299 Park Avenue.
