World Trade Center
The company became known through the World Trade Center . In July 2001 Silverstein Properties leased the Twin Towers, which were destroyed in attacks on September 11, 2001 . Shortly thereafter, the company announced that it would rebuild the complex. One building, 7 World Trade Center , opened in 2006 and has been the company's headquarters ever since. Silverstein Properties also owns the remainder of the complex, which opened in 2014. Owner of One World Trade Center , the tallest tower, but the New York Port Authority .
The complex is largely financed by insurance funds that Silverstein received after the terrorist attacks. Overall, the company was 4.577 billion US dollars awarded since the World Trade Center complex was insured against terrorist attacks. Larry Silverstein sued his insurance company in 2004 , including the German alliance , for double the original amount insured (a total of $ 7.1 billion), arguing that there were two attacks on September 11th since it In the case of the World Trade Center, there were two towers and therefore two attacks would have taken place. In the second instance, the court divided the insurers into two groups, depending on the type of insurance contract. Four insurers were sentenced to pay the single sum, and nine others were sentenced to double the amount (a total of 4.577 billion US dollars), so the Silverstein court was partially right. In particular, Allianz initially refused to pay this amount. In an interview with Larry Silverstein in a German magazine in February 2007, the headline “Insurance, finally pay!” Appeared, with which Silverstein pointed out the difficulties with insurance.
