ORIGINAL: ThatDamnedPanda Who's Larry? Larry SIlverstein - owner of the 3 buildings. Actually, quote:
In 1980, Silverstein won a bid from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to construct 7 World Trade Center, to the north of the World Trade Center. Silverstein was interested in acquiring the entire World Trade Center complex, and put in a bid when the Port Authority put it up for lease in 2000. Silverstein won the bid when a deal between the initial winner and the Port Authority fell through, and he signed the lease on July 24, 2001, only weeks before the towers were destroyed in the September 11 attacks. Silverstein only owned building 7, he leased the other two.
