World Trade Center Tower 7, often referred to as WTC 7, was owned by Silverstein Properties. Larry Silverstein, a real estate developer, signed a lease for the World Trade Center complex just weeks before the September 11, 2001, attacks. After the attacks, WTC 7 collapsed due to fires ignited by debris from the Twin Towers, leading to a complex insurance claim process.

Why did the second wtc tower collapse before the first tower?

While there is a wide range of possible explanations for the collapse of the South Tower (2 WTC) before the North (1 WTC), it is believed that the lower impact of the plane on the tower (a full 15 stories under the same point on 1 WTC) and the passing of shrapnel and parts of the plane through three of four floor beams weakened the structure at an accelerated rate and brought 2 WTC down before its counterpart.

What are the plans for the reconstruction of ground zero in New York City?

It took 5 years to agree upon but in April of 2006, negotiations were finalized and a future WTC site plan was unvailed. This will include 6 new WTC buildings including 1 main tower (Freedom Tower) instead of the original 2. A memorial and museum will take place on the original tower 1 & 2 footprints and a performing arts center will be constructed after Port Authorities temporary exit is moved after the major structural construction of ground zero is set up. WTC 1-5 and WTC 7 are planned. There is no plans for a future WTC 6 building although 99 Church Street or Goldman Sachs may be named WTC 6 in the future. WTC 7 (the 3rd structure to collapse besides the major towers) has already been completed. Construction began in 2002 and the tower opened in May '06. The original WTC 7 had 47 floors, the new has 52 floors. As of Sept 08, the 10 uppermost floors are the only unleased floors with portions of 2 other floors currently empty as well. All new buildings that have not already been completed
