As of September 7th 2005 the Demolition work on the Deutsche Bank Building was to progress, and continue on for the next 7 to 8 months, expanding the WTC site with another 30,000 square feet of space.

In March 2006 human remains were found by construction workers cleaning toxic waste from this vacant skyscraper near the World Trade Center site. They found more bone fragments and human remains & the city medical examiner's office plans to extract DNA from the latest remains and try to match it against a database of the 2,749 people killed at the trade center on September 11, 2001. Fire Department crews had inspected the building in the months following the attacks, but construction workers clearing gravel off the rooftop found 10 bone fragments there last fall. The new remains were found in recent weeks by crews doing a more thorough cleaning before construction workers begin dismantling the building in May, said John Gallagher, spokesman for the Lower Manhattan Development Corp.

Some victims' family members said forensic experts should search the 41-story building again. Two human remains were found January 27 on the 38th floor of the building. The Deutsche Bank building has been vacant since the terrorist attacks, when part of the south tower tore a gash in the building. Deconstruction of the building, which is contaminated with asbestos, lead and trade center dust, began in September.
