Silverstein Gives Up Rights to Rebuild One World Trade Center in Exchange for Continuing Development of the Remaining Buildings
The dispute over rebuilding the World Trade Center site continued for years after 911, and the mayor of New York once asked Silverstein to withdraw from the project. Later, all parties reached an agreement: Silverstein gave up his rights to rebuild One World Trade Center, which would be handled by the Port Authority, and in return was allowed to continue constructing the remaining buildings such as Three and Four World Trade Center.
