		He said he was pleased to have negotiated a final development plan for the site, and that Silverstein was by no means cutting his losses by accepting a deal that reduces his development rights by 38 percent, losing concessions of more than $2 billion.
		The victory was won some time ago, Lieber said, when Silverstein Properties convinced the city to develop commercial towers of top caliber on the eastern portion of the site as opposed to residences or government offices.

		This form defined "occurrence" to mean "losses or damages that are attributable directly or indirectly to one cause or to one series of similar causes." U.S. District Court Judge John Martin, whose decisions are on appeal, said this definition means that the attack was a single occurrence.

	The New York Observer Real Estate: Larry Can Wait (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Larry Silverstein may be in a better negotiating position than people think.
		Sure, he is paying the Port Authority more than $10 million a year for 16 desolate acres that yield no manna, but a year ago, Silverstein said he would not need to begin drawing on the $3.5 billion in Liberty Bonds—the center of this whole dispute, remember--until 2009.
		Merrill guesses that the break-even rent at 7 WTC is really in the low- to mid-30s, meaning that, if desperate, Silverstein can drop his asking rent by another $15-20 a square foot, attract more customers, and still pay off his debt on that tower.

	RESURRECTION
		During almost all of 1998, Silverstein is busy meeting with and pushing Sharon and his bureaucrats to “get the Zone done.” At first, Silverstein is so optimistic that he authorizes the effort to compete for the tender BEFORE the FPZ Law is restored to its original form.
		Second, the Israeli “civil servants,” albeit in the name of their minister, convince Silverstein that once IEDC is selected as the first zone’s concessionaire, the bureaucrats will go to work to change the law back as close to the original as Israeli politics allow.
		Now, Silverstein is a believer, but he is certainly no one’s fool, especially when it comes to developing real estate, even a piece of real estate in the Holy Land.
