<description><![CDATA[Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg today joined WilmerHale co-managing partner William J. Perlstein and World Trade Center developer Larry A. Silverstein at the signing of WilmerHale's 7 World Trade Center lease, which is the first to incorporate groundbreaking language crafted by industry leaders working with the Mayor's Office of Long-Term Planning and Sustainability to promote enhanced energy efficiency and sustainability. Under traditional leases, building owners are responsible for the upfront cost of energy efficiency improvements. Tenants, however, are the immediate beneficiaries of those upgrades, in the form of reduced energy costs.  Because owners do not share in the benefit, they have little incentive to invest in energy upgrades. Building on the insights developed by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) Green Lease Forum, the Mayor's Office of Long-Term Planning Sustainability brought together a group of real estate and energy efficiency experts and lawyer Mark Rauch to develop new commercial lease language that allows tenants, such as WilmerHale, and owners, such as Silverstein Properties, to share the costs, as well as the benefits, of energy efficiency improvements.]]></description>

Visible to the north are his new Silver Towers, which have been 30 percent leased since going online in May. To the east is 99 Church Street, where a Four Seasons is on hold. And, in a striking close-up to the south is ground zero. There, 4 World Trade Center is set to clear street level this month. But schedules for his other structures on the site are less clear, as the overall project has been famously beset by delays. &amp;quot;It's taken more time than it should have, says Silverstein. &amp;quot;And when you're 78 years of age, you want to see things done.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The heart of New York City's historic Downtown was attacked and destroyed on 9/11.  While the economy has created challenges, we have an obligation to our city and to our nation to rebuild.  And the Port Authority took $2.75 billion out of the insurance fund for rebuilding based on its commitments to make it possible for us to rebuild at the WTC.  I agree with Mayor Bloomberg and Speaker Silver that the cause is too important to give up – we owe it to the world, to our country, our city, and our Downtown community to keep our promises to rebuild after the worst terrorist attack on American soil in our nation's history.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Just as Downtown was enjoying its strongest period of economic development and progress since the attacks of Sept. 11th, Wall St. found itself at the center of the financial hurricane of 2008. Lower Manhattan's confidence has been shaken for the moment as Merrill Lynch, A.I.G. and the Dow Jones Industrial Average have all taken a hit over the past few months. In times like these - when the economic future of our city, our state and our nation seems less than secure - it is easy to succumb to fear, doubt and cynicism.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[New York is again reaching for the sky, as the city has perhaps not done since the 1920s. Developer Larry Silverstein recently announced that his forthcoming apartment building and hotel at 99 Church Street would be 912 feet high. That will make the Robert A.M. Stern-designed structure the tallest residential building in New York.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Until recently, all of the city's super-tall buildings have been office buildings. New Yorkers have never really lived all that high up in the air. The fabled penthouses of Park Avenue or Central Park West were ever only 300 or 400 feet high. By the standards of history and of many other places, that's pretty high up. But by the standards of Manhattan skyscrapers, a handful of which rise more than 1,000 feet, it's not much.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;]]></description>
