The World Trade Center
The memory of the two towers might be shrouded in pain and devastation thanks to the events of 9/11, but that doesn’t mean that the original construction of the buildings should be forgotten in the history books. The port authority paid nearly $1 billion for the project to start in 1966. By 1979, both towers were ready and sold. The project might have taken a long time, but it had relatively few hiccups along the way, which is somewhat uncommon if you look at typical real estate developments today.
