Yes, the old one was dated almost as soon as it was built.

2 New Tenants Bring 7 WTC to Full

A British technology firm opening its first permanent U.S. office and a nonprofit centered on improving children’s lives signed deals for a total of 12,400 square feet at 7 World Trade Center, scooping up the last available smaller spaces at the tower. Those two leases come after the signing of a lease for 125,000 square feet last year at the 52-story, 6-year-old tower claimed the last of sizeable acreage in the building, which is owned by Silverstein Properties.

The two newest tenants have several things in common. Both will move onto the 46th floor in the summer, and the asking rent on each deal was $70 a square foot. One of the differences between them is that one wanted to be downtown while the other did not.

Telemetry, a London-based firm that measures the effectiveness of digital ads, signed seven-year lease for 5,400 square feet, or 13% of the floor. Originally, Telemetry wanted to locate in midtown south, near many other tech firms, but it also wanted to occupy recently built space, according to the company’s broker, Sam Seiler of CBRE Group Inc. An extensive search turned up nothing that fit the bill. However, when Telemetry executives visited 7 World Trade and saw the design and the views, they were hooked.

“It is their first permanent office in the U.S., so they wanted something that made a statement,” Mr. Seiler said. “They wanted something splashy.”

In contrast, Casey Family Services, which provides family advocacy, adoption and foster care services, wanted to stay downtown. With its lease at One Liberty Plaza nearly up and no additional room available there, the agency inked a six-year deal for 7,000 square feet. It, too, was drawn to the views, as well as the building’s LEED status, said its broker Bill Iacovelli, also of CBRE.

Silverstein Properties was represented by CBRE brokers Brad Gerla and Christie Harle.

Those striking features mentioned in that article will continue to lure prospective tenants to the site. Glad the building has finally reached capacity; to me that's a sign of good things to come.

The new WTC might finally be the World Trade Center. The original was built for that purpose also, but it seemed that more U.S. based companies occupied it than those overseas. I think the largest tenants will have to be foreign-based to help NYC become more of a global city than it already is.

What are you talking about? The old World Trade Center had tenants from the rest of the world too. Including Fuji Bank, Taipei Bank, Global Crossing Holdings, and Baltic Oil Corporation to name a few. This was the exact reason why the original World Trade Center was destroyed, because it was an area for world trade, and it was till it was destroyed. The new one will have the same job. That is why the World Trade Center needs to be protected.

Watch Modern Marvels. The Original WTC had more US-based businesses than foreign ones. This was a main reason it were attacked. It represented American commerce more than world commerce. Just take a look at which kind of firms were the largest tenants of each building starting with the former WTC 7

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...d_Trade_Center

Here are a list of tenants for the Twins
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...d_Trade_Center
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...d_Trade_Center

I agree with you about the firms you listed, but they weren't anywhere near as numerous as those that were American.

I'm just Curious, but I've been noticing in a few pictures that people have been up in the upper floors in the building is there a public viewing deck in 7 WTC?

No but there are events held on the upper floors from time to time and there is a church open to the public located on one of the uppermost floors.

I absolutely loved the old building, but this building is a complete stunner that amazed me when I visited the WFC in mid 2010. Even though this is puny compared to the other WTC buildings, it looked absolutely massive from below.

While the red Balloon Flower sculpture by Jeff Koons that was part of the signature fountain in the 7 WTC plaza is gone from the site and there had been no recent news about what happened to it
https://tribecacitizen.wpengine.com/...pture-is-gone/
https://tribecacitizen.com/2019/10/0...ture-at-7-wtc/
https://news.artnet.com/art-world/we...hattan-1703961

, a new sculpture by Frank Stella called "Jasper's Split Star" is being installed on the plaza in front of 7 WTC.






https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/22/a...de-center.html

Quote:
“Jasper’s Split Star” is a sculpture from 2017 that Larry Silverstein, the building’s owner, acquired as a replacement for a Jeff Koons work that was previously on long-term loan in the plaza. The Stella piece had previously been exhibited at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in Connecticut and was in Stella’s studio upstate when Silverstein reached out, looking for a new piece for the site.
Quote:
“Jasper’s Split Star” is constructed out of six small geometric grids that rest on an aluminum base shaped roughly like a flower petal.

Tenants in 7 WTC are replacing office keys with Apple Wallet apps on iPhone and Apple Watch. Hopefully they still retain the spare physical keys in case of emergencies.

https://9to5mac.com/2022/02/01/apple...-trade-center/

Quote:
With the release of iOS 15 last year, Apple expanded the Apple Wallet application to support storing office keys for the first time – this feature allows Apple Watch and iPhone users to access buildings by tapping their device to unlock a door. Now, real estate development firm Silverstein Properties has announced that it is rolling out support for this feature to tenants at the World Trade Center.

Office keys in Apple Wallet

Here’s how Apple describes this feature in iOS 15:

Quote:
For supported corporate offices, add your corporate access badge to Wallet and then use your iPhone and Apple Watch to access locations where your corporate badge is accepted. Tap to unlock your office doors and use your corporate badge in Wallet.
In a press release today, Silverstein Properties announced that its implementation of employee badges in Apple Wallet will allow users to access office buildings, tenant floors, fitness centers, and amenity spaces with just a tap of their iPhone or Apple Watch.

The setup process is handled through Silverstein’s Inspire application for iPhone. Using this app, employees and tenants can add their employee badge to Apple Wallet on their iPhone and Apple Watch.

“We are proud to make it easy for our employees and customers to get into our buildings, their offices, and our shared lounges, cafes, conference facilities and yoga studios using employee badge in Apple Wallet on iPhone and Apple Watch,” said Tal Kerret, President of Silverstein Properties. “Through our Inspire app, we can now provide and manage access to any number of buildings and spaces in a safe and secure way.”

One interesting tidbit here is that this implementation of Apple Wallet integration allows Silverstein to easily manage shared office spaces. The company explains that one company could lease an office suite at 7 World Trade Center on Monday and Tuesday, and another company could lease the same space on Wednesday through Friday. Contactless access to that office can then be managed directly through the Wallet app and Silverstein app on iOS.

This capability will launch first at the 7 World Trade Center in New York City, but Silverstein Properties says that it also will expand the service to office customers in New York, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles over the coming months.

7 WTC now 97% leased

Publisher, Investment Manager Each Take 40K SF at 7 WTC
By Celia Young

The alternative investment manager Capstone Investment Advisors will expand its offices at 7 World Trade Center by 40,000 square feet just as Fast Company publisher Mansueto Ventures renewed its 40,000 square feet at the tower.

The two transactions are part of four recent deals covering more than 104,000 square feet at the 52-story building, leaving only the 40th floor of the property empty. Asking rents were $90 per square foot, according to landlord Silverstein Properties.

“It’s very gratifying to see long-term tenants renew and new tenants join us in the building,” Silverstein’s director of leasing Jeremy Moss, who represented the landlord in-house in the four deals, said in a statement. “As companies adapt to post-pandemic life and plan for their future, well-located, accessible, sustainable and high-tech buildings like 7 WTC will continue to be their workplace of choice.”

Capstone closed on its 13-year deal for the 40,000-square-foot expansion on the 32nd floor of the tower — the first skyscraper rebuilt on the World Trade Center site after the Sept. 11 attacks — in the last three weeks, according to Silverstein. The firm will relocate from 24,000 square feet on the 30th floor in 2023, according to the landlord.

Cushman & Wakefield’s Robert Lowe and Jonathan Fein represented Capstone in the transaction. Lowe and Fein did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Meanwhile, Mansueto, which first moved into the building in 2007, renewed its 40,000-square-foot lease for another 11 years, according to the landlord. CBRE’s David Glassman handled the deal for Mansueto. CBRE did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The tax law firm Kostelanetz & Fink also signed on for another decade in 18,158 square feet on the 34th floor, having been at the building since 2007, according to the landlord. The lease for the 1.7 million-square-foot building, home to Moody’s Corporation, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and Silverstein’s own offices, closed in March. Newmark’s Brian Cohen and Eric Zemachson handled the deal for the tenant, and Cohen declined to comment.

In the smallest deal, IT provider UPSTACK relocated from Paramount Group’s 745 Fifth Avenue to 5,400 square feet at the Silverstein tower in a seven-year lease, according to the landlord. The firm closed on the transaction at the end of 2021 and represented itself, according to Alexander Cole, the firm’s senior vice president of marketing.

“We were looking for a new space to accommodate our growing team and 7 World Trade checked all the boxes,” Cole said. “It really was [the building’s] proximity to the various airports in the area, because we do have a lot of visitors going through town [and] decreased commute times, [though] the amenities offered by [7] World Trade were certainly a plus.”

In total, all four deals bring the property to 97 percent leased, according to Silverstein.

Update: This story has been updated to include Capstone’s current square footage at 7 World Trade Center.
Refinancing of 7 WTC has also been announced

7 World Trade Center Lands $458M Refi
By Anda Rosu

Silverstein Properties also signed new leases and renewals at the iconic Manhattan tower.

Silverstein Properties has secured a $457.5 million loan from Goldman Sachs for the refinancing of 7 World Trade Center in New York City. Executed in green bonds, the refinancing comprises $449.2 million in tax-exempt bonds, and $8.31 million in taxable bonds.

The owner has also closed two new leases and two renewals at 7 World Trade Center, totaling more than 104,000 square feet. The iconic office building is now 97 percent leased, with only one 40,000-square-foot floor still available. Jeremy Moss of Silverstein Properties represented the landlord in all four lease transactions.

New tenants at the property include Capstone, which committed to 40,000 square feet. Robert Lowe and Jonathan Fein of Cushman & Wakefield represented the company in the deal. UPSTACK also signed a lease for 5,400 square feet, relocating from 745 Fifth Ave.

Kostelanetz & Fink renewed its 18,148-square-foot commitment. Eric Zemachson and Brian Cohen of Newmark represented the company in the deal. Mansueto Ventures also renewed its 40,000-square-foot lease, represented by David Glassman of CBRE.
Focus on sustainability

Built in 2006, the Skidmore, Owings & Merrill-designed tower was New York City’s first LEED Gold-certified office building. According to Marty Burger, Silver Properties’ CEO, the high-rise continues to serve as a blueprint for sustainable development, through its refinancing carried out in green bonds.

The office tower has 52 stories and 1.7 million square feet, with 40,000-square-foot customizable floorplates. Tenants at the property include companies such as Moody’s Corp., Moët Hennessy, Zola, WilmerHale, BMI, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, Fast Company and Inc. Magazine, Jeffrey Beers International and Silverstein Properties. All tenants have access to Silverstein Properties’ new hospitality program, INSPIRE, which features hotel-quality amenities, community events, fitness classes as well as access to every amenity space and flexible co-working space in the company’s portfolio.

Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom represented Silverstein Properties in securing the loan, while Hawkins Delafield & Wood represented underwriter Goldman Sachs.

Not all office buildings in Manhattan have a vacancy rate as low as 7 World Trade Center. As of February, the office vacancy in Manhattan reached 13.1 percent, up 30 basis points month-over-month, according to CommercialEdge.
