"Three World Trade Center will occupy a hugely significant site in Lower Manhattan and in New York. We believe we have designed a transparent and legible building which responds both to the architectural and social context of the area, and one which will make a fitting contribution to the New York skyline."
- Lord Richard Rogers, Architect, 3 World Trade Center

3 WTC Transit Lobby

Designed by Richard Rogers, 3 World Trade Center (175 Greenwich Street) will rise 1,170 ft feet above street level. The 80-story building will include 2.5 million square feet of office space spread across 53 column-free floors and five trading floors.

Office floor plates will range from 29,000 to 44,000 square feet; trading floors will include 68,000 square feet of space. 3 WTC will have five retail levels - one on the ground floor, two below-grade levels, and two levels above the ground floor.  Roger's bold diamond-shaped bracing allows unimpeded 360 degree panoramic views of New York.

3 WTC will have five retail levels -- the ground floor, two below grade levels and two levels above the ground floor -- that total 133,000 sq ft (of which 73,000 sq ft is at or above street level). 3 WTC's safety systems will exceed the city's building code and Port Authority requirements. Designed to the highest energy efficiency ratings, 3 WTC will seek to achieve the Gold standard under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) by the U.S. Green Building Council.
