Condé Nast’s New Headquarter’s Surprise: Open Floor Seating

Details have been trickling in about Condé Nast’s new world headquarters. It’s located at 1 World Trade Center!  It will be Earth-friendly and hi-tech! Plenty of room for Ralph Lauren‘s limosouine!

But how about some not-so-good news for Condé staffers: the New York Post reports that the new office plan calls for open floor seating in the 1 million square feet of office space. In the current office, walled offices are the rule, and “Condé Nasties fought hard for each square inch of office space.”

Uh-oh. So who has the most to lose?

The toniest digs in the Midtown office, which went to upper level executives and chief editors, such as Anna Wintour, of Vogue; Graydon Carter, of Vanity Fair; or David Remnick, of The New Yorker, were huge offices featuring private bathrooms.

Some executive suites were even said to have showers. That is likely to come to a dramatic end.

“They are very interested in the whole cubicle world,” said one insider.
