Don't Forget "Lucky Larry" Silverstein!
In July 2001 (just two months before the attack), a consortium of investors led by Silverstein Properties, which already owned World Trade Center building 7 (WTC7), signed a ninety-nine-year lease for the Twin Towers (building 1 and 2) plus buildings 4 and 5.
This gave Larry Silverstein and his associates complete access to every inch of the WTC complex at the time. This can be very handy if you need to prepare for a controlled demolition of the buildings.
The lease was for $3.2 billion, financed by GMAC, plus $111 million from individual real estate investors Lloyd Goldman and Joseph Cayre. Silverstein Properties put down only $14 million of its own money.
The Port Authority had a $1.5 billion insurance coverage on the WTC complex. Silverstein insisted on doubling that insurance amount, insuring the buildings for $3.55 billion also adding coverage for terrorist attacks.
One week before September 11, 2001, the shipping company, Zim Israel Navigation Co. Ltd., broke the lease it had held for 30 years and moved out of the World Trade Center. No reason was ever given, but Zim was half-owned by the Rothschilds.
