After almost 25 years now, there are more things we still can learn about that day. Silverstein had signed a 99-year lease for the World Trade Center complex just weeks before the attacks. Silverstein has stated that he typically attended meetings at the World Trade Center every morning. However, on 9/11, he did not go to the office due to a medical appointment. This detail has frequently resurfaced in documentaries, news reports, and online discussions as people revisit the events of that tragic day.
He didn’t buy the towers. He leased them. Port Authority of NY and NJ owned the entire complex.
And he ended up getting $4.55 Billion from insurance, while the rebuild of the complex cost much more than that.
One WTC cost $3.9B alone. 7 WTC was another $700M. Total complex rebuild was $26B.
He ended up personally losing over a billion dollars on the complex after the attacks and rebuild.
