The owners of the Freedom Tower has hired an advocate to determine whether or not it is possible to sell equity in the project.
The Port of Authority of New York and New Jersey hired the Deutsche Bank to search for equity partners, hoping to reduce the state’s sole ownership in the property.
While the agency has not committed to selling off some or all of the building, the New York Sun reported, the feasibility study marks a clear step in that direction.
“We’re looking at any and all options,” a Port Authority spokesman said. The Port Authority owns the entire 16-acre site at ground zero, though it is leasing the land for the other three towers to developer Larry Silverstein.

It would be impossible for anyone to claim true ownership of that sacred ground.
What do we really own in this lifetime anyway? All material goods remain behind once we have passed on, and only through the lives of the living, do memories of our good deeds survive.
May we all find good deeds to extend to others as a form of equity on our presence while here on this planet.
