Is Hermes opening a third boutique in Manhattan?

Just found this in today's New York Times. Does anyone have the scoop on what may be going on?

Fashion brands are flooding the retail market downtown as well, focusing primarily on two rival spaces. There’s Brookfield Place, facing the south and west sides of 1 World Trade Center; and Westfield World Trade Center, which will have retail outlets at the Oculus, a transportation hub and shopping center that will open next year, and at 2, 3 and 4 World Trade Center.

Brookfield Properties has already signed labels like Hermès, Diane von Furstenberg, J. Crew, Burberry, Theory, Ermenegildo Zegna and Salvatore Ferragamo. The developer has also signed Equinox and is reportedly in negotiations with Saks. Westfield has made no announcements about retail stores but is in talks with Michael Kors, John Varvatos and MAC, according to a person with knowledge of the negotiations.

There was a discussion about this in the NY Stores thread awhile back.

Yes, there will be 3 stores - Madison, Wall Street and Brookfield. However, from what I understand from one of the posters there, the downtown offices are going to operate as two complimentary stores -- Fragrances and home store at Brookfield, scarves and leather goods will remain at Wall St.
