Come 2006, New York's now six-story Hearst Building, the Eighth Avenue landmark that William Randolph Hearst built a century ago, will be a full-fledged skyscraper and will house all of the company's magazines (the building's historic facade is being preserved). Only GH resides there now, and when construction begins in April 2003, the Ellen Levine- and Pat Haegele-led editorial and business staffs will relocate about a block to Esquire's home at 250 West 57th. Not only people are making the schlep, but so, too, is the Good Housekeeping Institute--with its kitchens and testing facilities that take an entire floor in the Hearst Building. Only the Esquire site can accommodate the Institute, says Haegele, but the logistics still have to be worked out. So, too, will be Esquire's pro tempore home, and where the Hearst Building-based corporate hierarchy (led by president Vic Ganzi and magazines president Cathie Black) will reside.
