Silverstein Properties is celebrating Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (#AANHPI) Heritage Month, and we want to recognize the many contributions, cultures, histories, and achievements of AANHPI communities that have helped shape our workplaces, neighborhoods, and society.  We are proud to feature Ryan Cabahug, Vice President, who joined our Accounting team in January 2023. In sharing his story, Ryan reflects on the importance of family, cultural identity, resilience, and the personal connection he feels to both Downtown Manhattan and Silverstein Properties.  ❓Tell us about yourself and your journey to Silverstein Properties.   🔵 My journey to Silverstein Properties is one that is deeply personal to me.   From a young age, I viewed Downtown Manhattan as the place where ambitious and successful professionals built their careers. Whenever someone mentioned working “in the City,” that is immediately where my mind went. I grew up in Queens, NY during the tragic events of 9/11, while both of my parents were working in Manhattan. I vividly remember being stuck at my after-school program for hours after dismissal, uncertain when my parents would make it home safely. Over the 20+ years that followed, I watched Downtown Manhattan transform into the thriving central business district that it is today, due in large part to the vision and resilience of the Silverstein organization.   Early in my career, my previous employer hired my now-wife to serve as an external auditor for several assets of the firm. A few years later, I assumed responsibility for that same project, and through that experience, I realized this was exactly where I wanted my career to head.   Several years later, I had the opportunity to join Silverstein Properties, and the way I felt then has not changed. I value my professional life immensely and remain grateful for the opportunity to learn, grow, and contribute to an organization that holds such personal significance to me. ❓Can you share a bit about your background and heritage?   🔵 I was born in Queens to immigrant parents from Cebu, Philippines, who raised me with strong values centered around family and hard work. Growing up in a close-knit Filipino household shaped much of who I am today, both personally and professionally. While much of our extended family has since relocated to the United States, the core values and sense of community have remained unchanged. To me, it’s the same family and culture – simply in a different setting. ❓What does Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander Heritage Month mean to you?   🔵 AANHPI Heritage Month is an opportunity for reflection, appreciation, and recognition of the generations before us who made sacrifices to create opportunities for their families and future generations. It serves as a reminder that every second-generation immigrant’s story began long before them.   It serves as a reminder of the values I was raised with – resilience and a strong sense of family and community. It is also meaningful to see the growing representation of AANHPI folks across leadership roles and industries that may have once felt out of reach to many immigrant families generations ago. ❓How have your cultural roots influenced your career journey?   🔵 My cultural roots have influenced my career journey primarily through the values I was raised with – hard work, accountability, and a strong sense of responsibility toward family. Growing up in an immigrant household, there was always a clear understanding that opportunities should never be taken for granted.   I’ve always believed in being dependable, putting in consistent effort, and continuously learning from the people around me. ❓Does your family have any traditions that are especially important to you?    🔵 Family gatherings have always been especially important to me. In Filipino culture, there’s a strong emphasis on staying closely-connected across generations, whether it’s birthdays, holidays, or simple weekend gatherings centered around food and conversation. These moments have always reinforced the importance of family, community, and, most importantly – showing up for one another. Even as our family has grown and relocated over the years, maintaining those connections and traditions has remained incredibly meaningful.

On May 23, 2006, we opened 7 World Trade Center, a 52-story, $700 million project that went on to become New York City’s first LEED-Gold certified office building. Hundreds celebrated the occasion with us, including local school PS 234 and a concert with Lou Reed!

Commercial Observer sat down with Jeremy Moss recently for their "5 Questions" series to discuss the recent American Express deal, current trends in Lower Manhattan office leasing, and new office space coming online at 7 World Trade Center.  "I think that’s a testament to the commitment that Larry Silverstein made to rebuild the World Trade Center, and the commitment that many, many people have made to help rebuild Lower Manhattan."

Sending out a huge 'thank you' to everyone who attended the Bisnow AI event today at 7 WTC! Our very own Yael Urman was a featured speaker on the first panel, discussing how AI is impacting the future of work & employment, along with how AI will be implemented into #CommercialRealEstate.

We are pleased to announce that Larry Silverstein, Lisa Silverstein, and Tal Kerret have been listed at #6 in Commercial Observer's 2026 #Power100 list!  f.mtr.cool/mbiapixqzz

We recently hosted a Cybersecurity "Lunch & Learn" event where the NYPD and FBI taught employees about safe browsing in the modern era.  Check out this interview with Asseno Dorvil, Reynolds Colon, and Samuel Acheampong to hear what they learned and who they'll call first if they have a computer problem ;)

Hey Max! "Do You Know Good Pizza?" Turns out, yes he does! But what are his hot takes? Let's find out!

From Italy to Hell’s Kitchen 🇮🇹 ➡️ 🏙️ When Luca di Pietro came to the U.S., he missed the simple rhythm of Italian life: morning espresso, a quick lunch, pasta with friends at night. So he brought it with him.  Now open at 620 W 42nd St, @Tarallucci e Vino is serving up all-day Italian goodness, from fresh pastries and coffee to handmade pasta, all from scratch. The space is small and almost entirely glass, with Silver Towers rising around it on all sides. An elegant bar anchors the center, flanked by outdoor seating, indoor tables and a booth tucked into a wallpapered corner. There are not many walls, which turns out to be the point. The place is literally transparent, an open invitation to anyone walking by to come in off the street. Photos by Julia Veith Click the link below to read more: f.mtr.cool/azpchkyrzc

The new World Trade Center continues to redefine Lower Manhattan.  "When Moody’s moves out of 7 World Trade Center at the end of 2027, Larry Silverstein expects to fetch rents of up to $140 per square foot for 700,000 square feet, said Jeremy Moss, executive vice-president for leasing. "It will be a great opportunity for us,” Moss remarked, citing “a 30% increase in our rents since the pandemic.” CBRE superbroker Mary Ann Tighe cited the site’s “magic combination that companies are seeking — new office construction sitting atop mass transit.” She noted that financial services, tech and law firms “have all grown and flourished at the Trade Center.” Among them is law firm Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, which is adding 43,000 square feet at 3 WTC, bringing its total there to 268,000 square feet. Other major Trade Center tenants include Carta and Ameriprise at 1 WTC, Uber at 3 WTC, Spotify at 4 WTC, and Wilmer Hale at 7 WTC. “It has been the catalyst for the reinvention of #LowerManhattan as a community filled with workers and residents who live in a 24-hour community with a multiplicity of media, tech and financial service firms.” Photo by Vincent Laforet Learn more by clicking the link below: f.mtr.cool/nmsdnqeehn

Yesterday happened to be the 120th day of the year, so of course we just had to feature a double dose of our favorite pair of 120s!

Is there anything better than some live jazz with all of New York City as your stage backdrop? #InternationalJazzDay Photo by @laskyfilms

Here at Silverstein, we've been known to celebrate #InternationalDanceDay in a variety of ways! Here are just a few of our favorites from over the years!

"We need to circle back offline to ideate a paradigm-shifting, scalable solution that will synergize cross-functional touchpoints and leverage our core competencies to maximize low-hanging ROI while keeping the KPI bandwidth robust." So we've gathered select Silverstein team members to facilitate real-time translation of enterprise-grade corporate vernacular into digestible language for cross-departmental stakeholders... ... if you catch our drift ;)

It's Friday, and Harlan & Joe are BACK for some bonus pizza hot takes!
