Today, we're throwing it back to October 2007 when construction officially began at Silver Towers! These two 60-story residential towers are connected by a six-story base and located at 600 West 42nd Street in #HellsKitchen. Swipe to see what they look like today! Photos by Joe Woolhead

We recently hosted an event to celebrate art, artists, and creativity on the 79th floor of 3 World Trade Center. Since the tower opened back in 2018, 3 WTC has been home to dozens of amazing artists, photographers, and filmmakers. This exclusive event was hosted alongside Silver Art Projects to celebrate the work and partnership of these talented creators. In addition to celebrating what's been created here over the years, we also introduced the new 2026/2027 Cohort of Silver Art Projects.

1,664 steps, 75 floors, and one incredible community. Join us today for a look back at the 33rd annual YMCA Stair Climb & Urban Hike at U.S. Bank Tower in Downtown Los Angeles! On September 25, participants challenged themselves to climb one of the city’s most iconic skyscrapers in support of the Ketchum-Downtown YMCA. Beyond the climb, the event brought the community together to support free and low-cost programs for children, teens, families and seniors, helping make a lasting impact throughout Downtown LA. Thank you to everyone who climbed, walked and supported this year’s event. We were proud to be a sponsor of this wonderful event!

Our last Hispanic Heritage Month spotlight is Jeordany Rufino, Engineer Helper at 7 World Trade Center, who has been a valued member of the building’s Engineering Team since November 2017. ❓ Can you tell us about your cultural background and heritage?   🔵 I was born and raised in the Dominican Republic. My culture is very loud, bold, festive, and colorful. I immigrated to the United States at the age of 16 as a first-generation immigrant. I arrived without knowing the language or fully understanding the culture, but I brought with me the strong work ethic that is deeply rooted in Dominican culture.   I would say that Dominicans are very hardworking people. Back home, many of us begin working at an early age and are raised with the saying, “Work hard so your children will have it easier. “That mindset has stayed with me throughout my life. ❓ What does Hispanic Heritage Month mean to you?   🔵 For me, Hispanic Heritage Month is a time of observance and appreciation. It gives us an opportunity to stop and recognize all the people who contribute to our communities and to the day-to-day operations around us. I enjoy learning about the different cultures and traditions of the people around me. Getting to know their stories and experiences is something I truly value. ❓ How has your Hispanic heritage influenced your personal and professional journey?   🔵 Being a bilingual Hispanic has opened many doors for me and has helped me build lasting connections. Being able to translate for others or assist someone who may not speak the language is something I take great pride in. I also enjoy sharing meals with my coworkers because it gives me an opportunity to share a little bit of my culture and experiences while learning about theirs as well. I believe food is a wonderful way to bring people together and learn from one another. ❓ How do you celebrate your culture and heritage?   🔵 A very special date for me is February 27th when we celebrate Dominican Independence Day. On this day, my wife, our friends, and I usually make a savory mangú cake made with mashed plantains and topped with los tres golpes (“the three hits”), which include salami, fried cheese, and fried eggs, along with, of course, pickled onions. It is a tradition that allows us to celebrate our Dominican roots while enjoying good food and good company. ❓ What inspired you to pursue your current career path?   🔵 I have always considered myself a jack of many trades. One of my first jobs as a young boy was assisting a local ironworker for a few cents per errand. It was there that I began developing an interest in hands-on work and anything that involved creative thinking. In my current career in building engineering, we often encounter problems with machinery that require creative and practical solutions. I enjoy that challenge and the opportunity to use both my hands and my mind to find solutions. ❓ What advice would you give to young professionals within the Hispanic community who are just starting their careers?   🔵 I would encourage them not to become discouraged when they face difficulties. Remain hopeful, work hard, and give one hundred percent in everything you do. There will be challenges along the way, but with perseverance and dedication, your sacrifices will eventually lead to success. ❓ Can you recommend a favorite artistic medium or director/author/actor that emphasizes the Hispanic/Latino experience?   🔵 I would recommend Dominican American author Junot Díaz. His writing explores the Dominican and immigrant experience, including themes of identity, family, culture, and adapting to life in the United States. He received the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for his novel The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao.

The future of New York’s commercial real estate market was front and center at @Bisnow’s New York Commercial Leasing & Asset Management Conference. Silverstein Properties’ SVP and Director of Leasing Keith Cody joined industry leaders at 3 Columbus Circle to discuss office transactions, deal flow, pricing and the evolving dynamics shaping leasing demand across New York City. The conversation brought together perspectives on what tenants are looking for, how landlords are approaching today’s market and the strategies helping to drive deals forward.

At Silverstein Properties, we are proud to recognize and celebrate the diverse experiences, cultures, and perspectives that make our workplace stronger. To kick off our spotlight series, we are pleased to introduce Jayro Guerra, Senior Investment Accountant, who joined us in October 2025. Learn more about Jayro, his journey, and the experiences that have shaped him both personally and professionally. ❓ Can you tell us about your cultural background and heritage?   🔵 I am the first person in my family to be born in the United States, but my family's roots are in Colón, Honduras, where I spent much of my early childhood. When I was 6 years old, we moved back to the United States, and I had to adapt to a completely new environment, learn English, and navigate a culture that was very different from the one I knew. As I adjusted to life in the U.S., I learned to balance two worlds. I spoke English at school and Spanish at home, which helped me stay connected to my Honduran heritage while embracing new opportunities and experiences. Although it wasn't always easy, growing up between two cultures taught me resilience, adaptability, and the ability to see things from different perspectives.   I attended Hunter College, where I majored in Accounting and minored in Economics. As a first-generation student, I often found myself charting my own path through college and into the professional world. That experience taught me to be resourceful and to push myself beyond my comfort zone, ultimately inspiring me to pursue CPA licensure. Balancing college, two jobs, and CPA exam preparation was one of the greatest challenges of my academic journey, but I remained committed to my goal and passed all four sections of the CPA exam within eight months, dedicating nearly every free moment to studying. ❓What does Hispanic Heritage Month mean to you?   🔵 Hispanic Heritage Month is an opportunity to celebrate and recognize the rich cultures, traditions, and contributions of Hispanic communities. To me, it is especially meaningful because it helps bring visibility to a group of people whose stories, achievements, and experiences are not always highlighted. It's a time to honor the resilience and sacrifices of previous generations while also recognizing the impact Hispanics continue to make in their communities and workplaces.   The month gives me an opportunity to reflect on my roots, celebrate the traditions and values that shaped me, and share those aspects of my culture with others. I see it as a chance to foster understanding, appreciation, and connection across different backgrounds while embracing what makes our Hispanic communities unique. ❓ How has your Hispanic heritage influenced your personal and professional journey?   🔵 My Hispanic heritage has had a significant impact on both my personal and professional journey. As the child of immigrant parents, I did not always have a roadmap for navigating higher education or the professional world, so much of that journey involved figuring things out on my own. My parents’ example gave me the confidence and determination to keep moving forward, even when things felt overwhelming. Watching them leave their home country and build a new life in the United States taught me the value of resilience, sacrifice, and perseverance. Their hard work showed me that even the greatest obstacles can be overcome. Professionally, these lessons have shaped my resilience, work ethic, and adaptability, teaching me to embrace opportunities, persevere through challenges, and see setbacks as opportunities for growth. ❓ What impact do you hope to make within your community and your industry?   🔵 I hope to encourage and mentor those who may be navigating unfamiliar paths, whether that's pursuing higher education, building a career, or overcoming personal challenges. I want to continue growing in my career while also supporting and developing those around me. I believe that diverse perspectives make teams stronger, and I hope to help foster an environment where people from all backgrounds feel welcomed, valued, and empowered.   Most importantly, I hope to honor the sacrifices my parents made by making the most of the opportunities they worked so hard to provide.
