It is not practical to build super-tall office buildings in the post-9/11 world.
"Larry A. Silverstein" is an American businessman.
Silverstein was born in Brooklyn, and became involved in real estate, together with his father, establishing Silverstein Properties. Silverstein separated from his business partner, Bernard Mendik, in 1977, and bought a number of large office buildings in Midtown Manhattan/Midtown and Lower Manhattan in the late 1970s. In 1980, Silverstein won a bid from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to construct 7 World Trade Center, to the north of the World Trade Center site. Silverstein was interested in acquiring the entire World Trade Center complex, and put in a bid when the Port Authority put it up for lease in 2000. Silverstein won the bid when a deal between the initial winner and the Port Authority fell through, and he signed the lease on July 24, 2001.
More Larry Silverstein on Wikipedia.I am thrilled with today's victory. But this is a win for all New Yorkers. Today's decision means an additional billion dollars of insurance proceeds will be available.
The mayor has frequently urged us to proceed as quickly as possible, ... I believe that New Yorkers want to see rapid rebuilding and not yet another exercise in planning and re-planning.
Al Cohen was a builder of high-rise office buildings - buildings of consequence.
If you look around Denver, you see many of the buildings Al Cohen erected.
We have zero commitments for 7 because it is too early.
Only concern right now is designing a safe and spectacular Freedom Tower in keeping with the well-established master plan for the site.
To the extent the demand is there.
I would assume it will not look completely different.
