60 Wall Street was obtained by Deutsche Bank in 2001 for $ 600 million , with uncertain plans for the building . However , after the loss of the Deutsche Bank Building ( also known as 130 Liberty Street ) during the September 11 attacks , Deutsche Bank moved about 5,500 staff into the building . Deutsche Bank sold the building in a sale-and-leaseback agreement with Paramount Group for over $ 1.2 billion in 2007 . In exchange , Deutsche Bank agreed to lease the entire building for 15 years , until 2022 . In 2017 , Paramount sold a 95 % interest to GIC Singapore for $ 1.04 billion , valuing the tower at $ 1.1 billion . German lender Aareal Bank provided GIC with $ 575 million for the acquisition . In May 2018 , Deutsche Bank announced the company would be vacating 60 Wall Street and moving to a smaller 1.1 million square foot office in the Time Warner Center , near Columbus Circle . The loss of Deutsche Bank will leave the building entirely vacant starting in the third quarter of 2021
