Is there a specific deadline for the arbitration? Is it just the end of the year?

If silvy wins does that automatically mean that both towers 2 and 3 will go up and that they will start construction this year?

Excuse the silly questions, I'm a little behind on my wtc redevelopment facts as of now.

If you insists on posting in these threads, if might help if you actually read the information posted beforehand.

^^^ Silverstein wants to get through this so he can get his hands dirty with the intentions he’s carried for the site since day one. So yeah, if he wins I would imagine he’s not going to wait around for things to happen on their own.

Take from that what you want.

Arbitrators Call For New WTC Timetable
By: NY1 News

The rebuilding schedule at the World Trade Center site is once again up in the air.

Arbitrators have given the Port Authority, which owns the land, and developer Larry Silverstein 45 days to renegotiate a construction timetable.

The decision was handed down after Silverstein sought damages and rent abatement for infrastructure delays.

The arbitration panel denied those requests, but relaxed a provision which would have stripped Silverstein Properties of development rights to Towers 2, 3 and 4 if they are not completed on time.

In statements, both sides had a positive reaction to the panel's order to head back to the negotiation table.

This ought to be interesting. I’m hinging my bets that the PA is growing tired of this whole debacle and will begin to give in to what makes sense, and quite frankly what is right. But then again they’re the PA, so it’s anyone’s guess at this point. Silverstein’s devotion to this is key and it’s clear he’s not letting up on anything. All things considered this ruling could’ve been worse. I’m staying positive to the fact that this will be worked out within a few months.

Or, they could procrastinate until Day 1 and say WE'RE GOING TO BUILD STUMPS.

You never know what they're planning, but I think that's what they might decide.

Building stumps would be one of the saddest things that could ever happen to this city.


It sounds like that might not happen though... just trying to be a little optimistic.

My bet: one of them will be built, and the other will be built to grade and either have a temporary park put on top or a stump.

Unfortunately I like both designs, so it's going to suck either way.

I´m sure that Tower 3 will be finshed before Tower 2 is complete.

Tower 3 has already been put on the back burner by Silverstein. If one of the towers rises in the near future, it will be Tower 2. Tower 3 is on hold indefinitely.

Silverstein offers more money for Ground Zero site
Developer's overture to put more of his own skin in the game is latest twist in negotiations to end longtime financing fight with Port Authority of New York & New Jersey.


By Theresa Agovino
February 18, 2010

Quote:
Developer Larry Silverstein is offering a host of proposals, including ideas that put more of his own money at risk, to end his battle with the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey over financing two of his towers at Ground Zero, sources say.

However, it’s questionable that Mr. Silverstein’s moves will actually bring the two sides closer, as sources familiar with the Port say the agency regards the proposal as “smoke and mirrors” that don’t really change the underlying financing of the deal.

To make financing two of his three planned towers more palatable, Mr. Silverstein says he'll pony up between $150 million and $250 million to fund the second tower instead of just the $50 million he had originally offered. He has also offered to allocate the insurance money and proceeds from all of his Liberty bonds to build the two towers. The proceeds were originally supposed to be divided over the three towers.

Additionally, in a move that will save about $262 million, Mr. Silverstein will build what is referred to in various development plans as Tower 3, instead of his more expensive Tower 2.

Heh.

How much money does Silverstein have anyway? If I were his age and rebuilding the WTC was my primary goal, I'd invest every penny I had.

Rebuilding the WTC is probably his biggest job, but that's just not the way it works. Nobody puts all of their own money into these things. It's why buildings around the world are stopped in their tracks, or canceled outright.

That’s just it though, this is not just ‘some’ building or ‘some’ site. A hole left in the ground will undoubtedly call for public outrage; simply won’t fly.

There's been so much sloppiness with the rebuilding of "ground zero" over the years, the the public now has "outrage" fatigue, and has generally pushed the rebuilding process out of mind. We'll see what the outcome of Silversteins "exposure" on 60 minutes will bring.

The Port Authority has the gall to say that Silverstein is the only one with "holes" in the ground at the site, while Silverstein is the only one with an actual completed building - years removed.

Agreed, but as the 10th anniversary rolls closer there will be more and more eyes looking at the site. It’s no secret what the demeanor of the opinions will be, but a hole still being visible at that time won’t go over well.

There has been so much "outrage" expressed over so many different subjects in this country over the last two decades, it's a wonder America hasn't had a collective heart attack, lol.

Bloomberg said he'll be damned if the site isn't completed by the time he kicks the bucket, in another decade or so. I hope he's serious about that, and joins with the Governor to pressure the PA. What the point of a totally independent, self-serving authority like the PA is, is beyond me. Whatever it is, is has not served the people of New York City well.

They have their moments. But why the agency that took so much pride in building the original, and is still the owner is proving to be such an obstacle in getting the site rebuilt is a mystery. I know these aren't the same people, but they should have been leading the charge to get the site rebuilt.

Well said NYguy. The Port Authority is making this difficult more than it has to be. The progress done so far is great but there is much more to be done like getting Towers 2 & 3 the financing it needs so that construction can continue. Ofcourse many can wish the attacks of 9/11 never happened and I wish indeed that it didn't but all we can do is look towards the future so the Port Authority and Larry Silvertstein can develop and produce a more iconic landmark than what was there. In my mind I also feel the Port Authority just wants to keep the new World Trade Center simple and sweet with One World Trade Center, the Transit Hub, and the Memorial despite their billion dollar plus costs. Whatever happens with the East Bathtub is all on Silverstein, which was their original agreement. I'm sure in the end all the problems will work out but it will take some time to achieve that.
