World Trade Center Buildings

Since 9/11 many Americans have harbored a great deal of anger because of the attack on our country. The memorial at Ground Zero is a great way to remember those who died, but I was worried the government wouldn't develop new real estate there because of its historical and memorial significance.

Walking by ground zero heading downtown every so often I can't help but feel a connection to the site. Honestly I can't say how happy I am they are building bigger and better buildings there with some beautiful courtyards to take the place of what was destroyed. The patriotism of the site inspires me every time I walk by it and I can't be the only one who feels that way.

I am still a student but one day I will work in those buildings, does anyone know what companies plan on renting out parts of the WTC buildings? Does anyone love the architecture and patriotism as much as I do? What does WSO think of the reconstruction?

Haha no, but I am interested to know what companies are moving into the buildings, unrelated to where I will work.

I just mean at one point in my life I want to work there, could be tomorrow, could be 30 years, I love the buildings and what they stand for. In general the building I work in couldn't matter less but this just adds some value to an otherwise empty part of employment (for me).

 

1wtc: Condé Nast, (publisher of gq/vogue/vanity fair/etc) is their anchor tenant (floors 20-45) which kind of sucks. Other than that about a billion law firms and hopefully some IB presence. The official tenant list hasn't been released yet I don't believe.

But agreed it would be sweet to work there.

 

UBS is thinking about moving their HQ from Stanford to NYC in the new Freedom Tower

What happened to Cantor-Fitzgerald? I know they lost about two-thirds of their workforce in 9/11. Very sad. Maybe they have plans to move back to WTC simply as a show of patriotism.

Someone said that Gatorade is moving some offices into there....but I overheard that from a guy with a heavy Southern accent on the subway last week.

Eventus stultorum magister.
