A financial ratings firm will be taking up more office space it leases at 7 World Trade Center.
Moody’s Corporation will be occupying 80,0000 more square feet than originally planned, leasing a total of 670,000 square feet at the new World Trade Center building.
There has always been speculation over who would occupy the reconstructed buildings at Ground Zero or whether or not the buildings could attract enough paying tenants to revive the World Trade Center as the commerce hub it once was before the 9/11 attack.
Moody’s will move into the Ground Zero building later this year.
Things in general are looking up at Ground Zero.
Seven World Trade Center has other confirmed tenants, including ABN AMRO, a firm that will be leasing 140,000 square feet in 2008. Ameriprise Financial moved into the buiilding last June. Darby & Carby will be taking over 80,000 square feet by May.

As the new construction site transforms into the fulfillment of its designer’s dream, more reputable tenants will appear on the scene. I have no doubt that “Ground Zero” will eventually be a vibrant center of commerce, a diverse, intellectual exchange of creative thought and a meaningful memorial.
On another note: You did mean “Darby & Darby” right?
“Darby and Carby” sounds like a great name for an Irish pub, though, doesn’t it?
