Then, what do they do if he doesn't find a tenant at the end of 2013? They tear down the seven floor podium and build a park instead ?
All of the towers, minus the Freedom tower, will have a retail base. As far as construction of the base goes, steel will start arriving in May. Who says it will take a couple of months to complete the base?

...sources close to Mr. Silverstein said that that the podium won't be fully completed until some time next year since the company will still be working on the interiors. That would give Mr. Silverstein nearly two years to find a tenant or call a total halt.
