CBS, WNBC, WNJU & PBS RETURN TO TOP OF 1,776-FOOT TOWER
—————
Rosenberg & Estis, P.C. served as legal counsel to the Durst Organization in deals to relocate broadcasters CBS, WNBC, WNJU and PBS to the top of the 408-foot spire that caps the 1,776-foot One World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan.
The broadcasters originally had been located at the top of One World Trade Center and were forced to find new locations following the attacks of 9/11. Fourteen-plus years later, they have returned and will use the tower as their primary broadcast facility for New York and New Jersey.
Gary Rosenberg, founder; Robert M. Kessler, member; William Byers, Jr., member, Jean S. Tom, of counsel, and associates Charles Caldarola and Arielle Frost of Rosenberg & Estis represented the Durst Organization in the transactions. Robert Becker and John Lyons handled the negotiations for Durst Broadcasting LLC.
One World Trade Center, which was developed by The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and which is managed, operated, and leased by The Durst Organization, provides an unparalleled platform for broadcasters. The building offers advanced communications and technology infrastructure and its height provides superior signal coverage.
