CoreNet NYC Hosts Presentation by Larry Silverstein
The New York City Chapter of CoreNet Global recently hosted “A Conversation with Larry Silverstein,” an intimate event in which the chairman of Silverstein Properties shared his insights on current events and the impacts they have on the real estate industry both in New York and nationally. Held at Silverstein Properties’ 3 World Trade Center, the presentation was moderated by Silverstein COO Dino Fusco.
Among his comments, Silverstein reflected on a time when many members of the industry advised him that companies would never want to work or lease space downtown ever again following the 9/11 attacks. However, despite believing himself to be nearing retirement at the time, Silverstein said that he felt it was his obligation to rebuild the World Trade Center in spite of the complications that the project entailed.
In the face of mixed feelings from the public and government, Silverstein announced his plans to rebuild soon thereafter. With the city’s real estate industry today facing another era of unprecedented changes, Silverstein remains a steadfast believer in its ability to recover.
