Building 7's Exclusive Tenants

Unlike rest of WTC, which came under private control in July 2001, WTC 7 was privately owned since its construction in 1985.

Building 7's short list of tenants consisted entirely of government and financial institutions.

• Financial institutions
  • Salomon Smith Barney (SSB)
  • Standard Chartered Bank
  • Federal Home Loan Bank of New York
  • First State Management Group
  • TT Hartford Insurance Group
  • American Express Bank International
  • National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC)
• Government agencies
  • Equal Opportunity Commission (EEOC)
  
  • Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
  • Department of Defense (DOD)
  • Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)
  • Office of Emergency Management (OEM)
  • US Secret Service
  • Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)

The collapse of Building 7 destroyed thousands of SEC casefiles of ongoing investigations into companies such as WorldCom.
