only important for our tenants but also for our engineers. We have people down in
the basement and on the roof so we had to design a system to provide connectivity
wherever they are. Additionally, we outfitted several of our engineers with Microsoft
Surface devices, and are in the process of tagging building mechanical equipment
with QR codes and linking those back to a technical documents library on our
SharePoint Intranet site. When our engineers are working on a specific piece of
equipment they can simply scan a QR code and bring up an owner’s manual, see
the maintenance schedule, when the last inspection was done, or view floor plans
and CAD drawings. We believe this will make our engineering staff much more
efficient and ensure that everyone is looking at the same document.
Saah: Let’s talk about some of the other projects you have going on, because while the
World Trade Center may be your highest profile project, I know you are involved with
many other projects around the city.
Jacolow: Most people associate Silverstein Properties with the World Trade Center,
but we are involved in so many other exciting world class projects. In fact, we are
transforming the new downtown skyline, breaking ground on the first Four Season’s
Hotel and Residence in New York City. This comes on the heels of developing the Four
Season Hotel Orlando on premises at Walt Disney World and the House of Mouse,
which opens this summer.
Saah: Are you doing twin towers side by side or mixing the hotel and residence
together?
Jacolow: It’s a single building that will be nearly 1,000 feet in height, the tallest
residential complex in downtown New York. The lower section will be an iconic Four
Season hotel with the remaining space luxury condominiums. They are not for the
faint of heart, starting at $3,000 per square foot, where New York’s spectacular skyline
surrounds you.
