New World Trade Center gets a different mix of tenants

New York

WHEN Lower Manhattan's new World Trade Center was conceived a decade ago, nobody had in mind a Silicon Valley in the sky.

Financial companies, which dominated the original twin towers, are scarce among tenants who have committed to space at the complex's glass-and-steel skyscrapers. Instead, the majority of deals done since magazine publisher Conde Nast agreed to anchor 1 World Trade Center in 2011 have come from technology, media and advertising.
