over 10 million square feet of office space and add six gleaming new corporate
office towers, to the Lower Manhattan
skyline.
One World Trade Center
With its shimmering glass curtain walls and towering
antennae, One World Trade Center 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.
2 World Trade Center
A sparkling glazed crystalline form and diamond-shaped
summit will create a bold addition to the New York skyline. Designed by Foster and
Partners, the 88-story 2 World Trade Center will be the second-tallest skyscraper in New
York City. Located east of the proposed performing
arts center and north of the WTC Transportation Hub, 2 WTC will rise to 1,349
feet and be topped by an 80-foot antenna.
3 World Trade Center
3 World Trade Center 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.
4 World Trade Center
A light, ephemeral vision, Tower 4 (150 Greenwich Street)
will face directly onto the World Trade Center (WTC) Memorial Park from the
west. Rising 977 feet. by Maki and Associates, the 72-story tower is intended
to assume a quiet but dignified presence at the site.
7 World Trade Center
Completed in May 2006, 7 World Trade Center serves as
flagship for the World
Trade Center
site, a touchstone of quality and sustainable design. The rebuilt 52-story,
1.7-million-square-foot office tower yeilds a tenant directory that includes
Silverstein Properties, Moody's Corporation, WilmerHale, WestLB, Ameriprise
Financial, and Mansueto Ventures, publisher of Fast
Company and Inc. magazines. The building is developed, owned, and managed by
