Before Jeremy Moss, senior vice president of leasing at Silverstein Properties, joined the firm four and a half years ago, he spent eight years working at Forest City Ratner, a tenure that culminated in a role managing the leasing of the office space at the New York Times building. He called working alongside Bruce Ratner and MaryAnne Gilmartin on the Times building “a great learning experience that prepared me well for the World Trade Center.” Mr. Moss helped oversee leasing at Silverstein’s 7 World Trade Center and is now leading efforts at 2, 3 and 4 World Trade Center. “I feel fortunate to be able to work on such a historic project, particularly as a native New Yorker,” Mr. Moss said when he sat down with The Commercial Observer last week to discuss his leasing efforts at the World Trade Center, its impacts on lower Manhattan and the future of the market.

Like a lot of buildings in lower Manhattan, Silverstein Properties Inc.’s 600,000-square-foot tower at 120 Wall St. took on significant flooding during Superstorm Sandy on Oct. 29.
But unlike a lot of its financial district neighbors that remain closed to tenants, 120 Wall St. was reopened just two weeks after the storm, thanks in large part to the business continuity plan Silverstein’s risk management and information technology departments had spent most of this past summer developing.

Then the street itself was sacrificed, for three blocks, to help create an unbroken 16-acre site for the twin towers. In four months, however, workers will begin restoring one of the missing blocks of Cortlandt Street, between Church and Greenwich Streets, as Cortlandt Way.
