Merrill is one top card that Brookfield has in its deck. It's a doubled edge sword though because either way Brookfield will have to sell space, wether it be in the WFC or in Manhattan West. If I were Brookfield I'd try to keep Merrill as is, and lure another big name into Manhattan West. We all know that there isn't a shortage of them right now. Morgan Stanley, Viacom, News Corp, Conde Nast, all have expressed interest to find a new home, among others.
I personally would like to see Merrill stay Downtown.
