The Deutsche Bank Building at 130 Liberty Street in New York City, United States, adjacent to the World Trade Center, opened in 1974 as Bankers Trust Plaza. The building was acquired by Deutsche Bank when it acquired Bankers Trust in 1998. The Deutsche Bank Building was heavily damaged in the September 11, 2001 attacks and severely infested with mold and other contaminants, to the extent that the building was declared not salvageable. The building remained vacant for several years after the attacks, shrouded in black netting. The building was declared a total loss in 2004. In 2007, deconstruction of the building proceeded.
