NEW YORK — Magazine publisher Conde Nast has tentatively agreed to a deal to move into the signature skyscraper being built at the World Trade Center site in New York City.

That’s according to an official familiar with the negotiations between the publishing giant and the government agency that owns ground zero. The official spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the talks were not finalized.

Conde Nast, which publishes Vogue, The New Yorker and Vanity Fair, did not immediately comment Tuesday. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey says in a statement that there’s “momentum” in tenant interest.

The agency has struggled for years to attract major businesses to rent space at the towers being built at the site of the Sept. 11 attacks.
