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.
