That's pretty much always the case with large buildings, and was the case with the original complex.

How 'Annie' Wound Up at the World Trade Center

Q. Before we get into the details, tell me how you found the space.
A. Will Stacks, our Daddy Warbucks character, needed to be on top of the world. He’s a billionaire. He’s AT&T. We were in some beautiful homes, but none of them just wowed us. We were constantly pointing at 4 World Trade Center, saying, “Can’t we go there?” So the location manager, Tyson Bidner, got us in. It just was breathtaking — the terrace, the Freedom Tower in front of you; you look down at Memorial Park.
But it was completely raw.
We walked into a space with exposed ceilings and a concrete floor. The windows were there and that’s why we were there.
On film, it looks huge.
I believe we finished off approximately 4,500 square feet, which is only half of that floor. The terrace is about 8,000 square feet.
How did you manage it while the building was under construction?
Everything went into an elevator connected to the outside of the building, and everything had to be coordinated. We’d build as much as we could in kits, putting the kits in the construction elevator and sending them 40-some flights up. We had to wear hard hats and safety vests. Our hats said “Annie” on them, and almost every day the workmen would break out in song.
