The foundation work was completed in 2013. It will replace the original 2 World Trade Center, which was completed in 1972 and subsequently destroyed during the September 11 attacks in 2001, and it will occupy the position of the original 5 World Trade Center. Port Authority of New York and New JerseyĢ World Trade Center ( 2 WTC also known as 200 Greenwich Street) is a planned skyscraper as part of the World Trade Center complex in Manhattan, New York City. As Curbed noted in Christopher Bonanos’s breakdown of the new design, boxy glass towers are more or less typical for the area now, and the vertical banding of 2 WTC’s facade will find similar company in Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners’ 3 World Trade Center tower on the other side of Fulton Street.A 2022 redesign of the World Trade Center with 2 World Trade Center in the centerĢ00 Greenwich Street, Manhattan, New York City 10007Ĥ0☄2′44″N 74☀0′40″W / 40.712095°N 74.011002°W / 40.712095 -74.011002 Speaking of the exterior and specifically the curtain wall, it appears Foster + Partners has opted for mirrored floor-to-ceiling windows banded with thick vertical steel “poles” that will segment each volume and direct the eye upward. It’s likely these will be amenity spaces for office occupants and should provide sweeping views of Manhattan on the eastern side and New Jersey to the west. Each terrace, from the renderings, will be broken up with plantings, and it looks like each vertical volume will hold intermediary outdoor plazas-a stark contrast from the singular, sculptural structure previously pitched. A cascade of terraces will move from the podium up to the peak toward One World Trade Center to the west and top out at about 1,350 feet. Image Courtesy of Visualhouseįor fans of the original proposal, you’re out of luck, as Foster + Partners is apparently planning a staggered bundle of slender volumes with each topped by a green roof. Save this picture! Vertical bands on the facade will emphasize the tower’s verticality while embedded terraces break up what could otherwise be a monolithic massing. ultimately backed out, and without an anchor tenant (BIG’s design would have also required updates to the extant foundation), Silverstein Properties handed the project back to Norman Foster in January of 2020 In its place, BIG designed a set of six boxy volumes that would rise and rotate from a podium up to 80 stories, with the underside of each segment featuring scrolling news and stock tickers. Gone was Foster + Partners’ plans for a slender 88-story office tower that terminated in four sloping diamonds intended to draw the eye downward toward the 9/11 Memorial. Although Foster + Partners was awarded the project 17 years ago and the foundation was laid in 2013, work has been proceeding at a slow clip and the original team was replaced by BIG in 2015 after developer Silverstein Properties decided to take a more contemporary approach and position the tower as the future home of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation and 21st Century Fox. Is the third time truly the charm for Two World Trade Center? New renderings spotted by New York YIMBY on February 1 seem to reveal the long-delayed tower’s new look, a marked departure from what was first unveiled by Foster + Partners back in 2005.
