Office Towers
Completion of the five World Trade Center office towers will mark a major milestone in the redevelopment of downtown New York-one that provides over 10 million square feet of office space.
Taken together with the recently opened 7 World Trade Center to the north of the site and the fast-rising new Goldman Sachs global headquarters in Battery Park City to the west of the WTC, the downtown skyline will feature no fewer than seven gleaming new corporate office towers comprising 14 million square feet of Class-A office space.
An architectural landmark for New York City, 1 World Trade Center (WTC), the "Freedom Tower," will soar a symbolic 1,776 feet skyward to become America's tallest building. Designed by David M. Childs of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the 2.6-million-square-foot building will include office space, an observation deck, world-class restaurants, and broadcast and antennae facilities. The Freedom Tower will be located on the northwest corner of the WTC site.
Tower 2, also known by its street address, 200 Greenwich Street, features a sparkling glazed crystalline form and diamond-shaped summit that will create a bold addition to the New York skyline. Designed by Foster and Partners, the 79-story tower will be the second-tallest skyscraper on the World Trade Center (WTC) site and in New York City. Located east of the proposed performing arts center and north of the WTC Transportation Hub, Tower 2 will rise to 1,270 feet and be topped by an 80-foot antenna.
Tower 3, also referred to as 175 Greenwich Street, will be the third-tallest building on the World Trade Center (WTC) site. Designed by Richard Rogers of Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, the tower will be situated at the center of the various buildings around the memorial.
Tower 4, also known by its street address, 150 Greenwich Street, will face directly onto the World Trade Center (WTC) Memorial Park from the west. Rising 975 feet, it will be the fourth-tallest skyscraper on the WTC site. Designed by Maki and Associates, the 64-story tower is intended to assume a quiet but dignified presence at the site while also serving to enliven the immediate urban environment as part of the redevelopment efforts of downtown New York.
Located on the southernmost portion of the World Trade Center (WTC) site, Tower 5 will be developed by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey as the investment banking headquarters for JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPMC).
7 World Trade Center (WTC) marks the gateway to the new WTC and heralds the spirit of redevelopment and renewal in downtown Manhattan. Opened in May 2006, the rebuilt 52-story, 1.7-million-square-foot office tower is now two-thirds leased, with a tenant directory that includes Silverstein Properties, Moody's Corporation, the law firm Darby & Darby P.C., Ameriprise Financial, Dutch bank ABN AMRO, and Mansueto Ventures, publisher of Fast Company and Inc. magazines. The building is developed, owned, and managed by Silverstein Properties.
