NEW YORK—A federal judge on Thursday rejected a lawsuit by the developer of New York’s World Trade Center seeking to take a $14 million cut of a settlement between its insurer and airlines over the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

The ruling from U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein in Manhattan dismissing the developer’s claims against QBE Insurance Group Ltd resolves the last remaining dispute in a sprawling litigation over liability from the deadly attacks.
