Thru the lens: LERA WTC Stair Climb

Leslie E. Robertson Associates (LERA) raced to the top of 4 World Trade Center, in support of the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation as part of the first RunyonUp stair climb event at the 72 story tower. LERA was the structural engineer for 4 WTC and had over 20 engineers and firm family and friends join their team and climb to the top. Megan Lenz, a design engineer with LERA who worked on Tower 4 for 3 years enjoyed the opportunity to experience the building in a different way. Lenz said, "Walking up really allows you to reflect on the building as a whole. You feel very connected and proud to be a small part of such an important project." Climbers raised money for cancer research and were rewarded with breathtaking views stretching from Central Park to the Statue of Liberty.

The death of the generic offering memorandum: What buyers expect in 2025 - by Kimberly Zar Bloorian
