Today marks the thirteenth anniversary of 9/11. So much time has passed, yet many of us still vividly remember the tragedy of that day and will continue to remember. No matter how much time goes by, we will never forget. As we hold reverence for those we lost, we look ahead to the progress being made at the new World Trade Center complex. Rebuilding has always been an important part of the healing process.
Imperative to the success of the new World Trade Center is securing top companies to lease space. Many blue-chip firms have already committed to the complex including the publishing giant Condé Nast along with industry giants like BMI, Omnicom and Inc. magazines.
Five new skyscrapers: world Trade Centers 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 will dot the New York skyline, and The National September 11 Memorial and Museum, World Trade Center Transportation Hub, 550,000 square feet of retail space and a gorgeous performing arts center will all be humming when the project is totally finished.
This summer, Silverstein Properties, the real estate development firm which holds the lease to the World Trade Center complex, announced that MediaMath will be the first global marketing and technology company to move into 4 World Trade Center, signing to a 15-year, 106,000 square foot lease.
In its own words, MediaMath is a company that “empowers marketers to reimagine the way their marketing performs by transforming the technology that powers it.” With addition of the global marketing company, it will be easier for Silverstein properties to attract similar cutting-edge global firms to the site.
Silverstein Properties Chairman Larry A. Silverstein states “ I am thrilled to welcome MediaMath, which represents the technology, advertising media and information companies driving the city’s new economy and downtown’s future.”
MediaMath will be joined by the Port of Authority of New York and New Jersey (who were in the original World Trade Center) and the City of New York in the light-filled LEED Gold certified building designed by Pritzker prize-winning architect Fumihiko Maki.
As we continuing to keep the memory alive of those who died on that fateful day, we are excited by the promise of a new New York skyline.
