The major New York City landlord -- with more than 7 million sq. ft. of office and residential space in Manhattan - intends to redevelop all of the commercial space from the World Trade Center. One building, Seven World Trade Center is already open. The centerpiece of the planned project, Freedom Tower, is to be open by 2011.
