WTC Attack Shatters
Plans Downtown likely to suffer from loss of complex

Only a few months ago the World Trade Center was such a prized asset, an unwavering symbol of financial power, that its 99-year lease sold for $3.2 billion, the most ever paid for a piece of New York real estate.
In late April, New York developer Larry A. Silverstein negotiated a hard-fought winning bid for the famous Twin Towers, two office buildings and a retail mall. The deal, which put the complex under private ownership, closed seven weeks ago.
Silverstein’s partners include Westfield America, a public real estate investment trust that operated the retail mall, and investor Lloyd Goldman.
A spokesman for Silverstein said yesterday he had no comment.
Silverstein built and owned 7 World Trade Center, a 47-story office building which also collapsed yesterday afternoon.
The World Trade Center complex consisted of seven buildings, built more than 30 years ago by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. The complex was the brainchild of then-New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller and his brother, David Rocke- feller, chairman of Chase Manhattan Bank.
The 110-story Twin Towers punctuated the lower Manhattan skyline and until the Sears Tower in Chicago was erected in the mid-1970s had the distinction of being the world’s tallest structures. The first tower, One World Trade Center, to the north, opened in 1970, followed by Two World Trade Center, two years later. Together they had 10 million square feet and were built at a cost of $1 billion.
Plans were underway to double the size of the retail mall to 1 million square feet, using space around the plaza, Faith Hope Consolo, vice chairman of Garrick-Aug Worldwide, the largest retail broker, said yesterday.
„The World Trade Center was poised for another period of growth under the new ownership,“ Consolo said. „It had become one of the most important tourist and shopping destinations in the city.“
Consolo said the attack on the towers is „a real dis- aster for downtown.“
Unlike 1993 - when a car bomb in a terrorist attack in an underground parking garage at the World Trade Center killed six people and injured more than 1,000 - the financial district has attracted hotels and a large residential population.
