Located at 200 Greenwich Street and bounded by Church Street to the east, Vesey Street to the north and Fulton Street to the south, 2 World Trade Center marks the final chapter of the World Trade Center site. PROJECT The tower sits at the junction between two different parts of New York City: one 2 World Trade Center is a landmark neighborhood characterized by industrial heritage warehouses with cast iron columns, granite sidewalks, external fire escapes, and repurposed SIZE loading docks; the other is the archetypal Manhattan skyline of generic towers, 2.8 million SF ranging from premodern skyscrapers—like the ancient ancestor Woolworth Building—to International-style modern high rises, such as One Chase Manhattan LOCATION Plaza, One Liberty Plaza, and One World Trade Center. At the intersection of New York, New York these two neighborhoods, 2 World Trade Center attempts to blend these distinct urban conditions together at the nexus of the Ground Zero Memorial. To the north, the tower appears as a vertical village, growing out of the low-rise scale of TriBeCa. To the south, the tower stands soberly above the memorial, in the tradition of glass curtain wall International Style office towers. UNITY TOWARDS THE MEMORIAL DIVERSITY TOWARDS TRIBECA The design of 2 WTC is derived from its urban context, as the intersection point of two fundamentally different neighborhoods: the modernist skyscrapers of the Financial District . and the lofts and roof gardens of TriBeCa. Fidi meets triBeCa The design unifies the high-rise with low-rise, and modern with historical to construct a new hybrid typology and an exciting addition to the NYC skyline. + A MODERN TOWER AND A VERTICAL VILLAGE UNIFIED IN ONE BUILDING 2 world trade CeNter MULTIPLE IDENTITIES BUILT ON A STRONG FOUNDATION FOLLOWING THE ‘WEDGE OF LIGHT’ The program is separated into unique zones Volumes of various sizes are stacked up from The tower is aligned along the axis of the according to various tenant needs, various large to small, creating unity out of diversity. “Wedge of Light” plaza, framing views to floor plate sizes, and leasing depths.

VEGETATION GRADIENT SKY-HIGH GARDENS With the conceptual starting point of a vegetation gradient according to altitude, each of the six terraces provides a different outdoor experience. The lush, green garden on the 12th floor and lowest terrace forms an immediate connection to the greenery rising from St. Paul’s Chapel just below; plantings are leafy and abundant, like a tropical forest. Moving up to the 23rd - 24th floor terrace, the L 73-1,103’ 6.042 SF garden is planted like an energizing xerophytic open forest of rich yellow-greens and striking purples; the garden’s connection to the double height auditorium and canteen provides an optimal space for shared meals, relaxation, and breakout work. The 36th floor terrace features the more muted palette of a 66TH FLOOR deciduous forest, and the 51st floor terrace is landscaped like a grassland, with beach grass and paved dunescapes. Vegetation becomes lower and lower as the terraces rise, so that the 66th floor terrace features the hearty groundcover of a coniferous forest with an added water feature, and the final terrace on the 80th floor resembles a zen evergreen tundra, where the low vegetation complements hardscaped textures.

  • Chapter 3: Alternatives 3.1 Introduction
    MTA New York City Transit Fulton Street Transit Center FEIS and Section 4(f) Evaluation CHAPTER 3: ALTERNATIVES 3.1 INTRODUCTION The effects of September 11 on Lower Manhattan and the New York City metropolitan region led to the need for revitalization of Lower Manhattan. Improvement of regional transit access to Lower Manhattan was considered essential to the successful revitalization of the area which had suffered extensive economic, transportation, infrastructure and environmental impacts. As a result, a coordinated effort was undertaken principally by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) New York City Transit (NYCT), the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey (PANYNJ), the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) and other Federal and State agencies. The purpose of this coordination was to plan the transit improvements in Lower Manhattan that would maximize the potential benefits for the revitalization process and contribute to a full recovery of economic conditions as existed, and as would be projected to the future, pre-September 11. To investigate potential approaches to improving its transit services and facilities, NYCT commissioned a concept study in 2002 which, upon completion, indicated that the most effective way to integrate existing transit services with potential improvements involved the construction of: • A new prominent mass transit center on Broadway (the Entry Facility) incorporating a subsurface station concourse (the Central Station Concourse), connecting the AC and 45 service and providing

It was written in conjunction with four other papers studying World Trade Centers (WTCs) sites in Taipei, Amsterdam, Curacao and Portland (Oregon). These sites represent a cross-section of the various trade and economic environments that World Trade Centers operate in around the globe. Each of these studies examines the extent to which the owner/developer, the tenants and other regional public and private concerns have benefitted through their involvement with these highly specialized real estate developments. The New York World Trade Center is unique from all other World Trade Centers in several respects.

  • September 19, 2016 Manhattan to Add 20M Sf of New Office Space By
    September 19, 2016 http://therealdeal.com/2016/09/19/manhattan-to-add-20m-sf-of-new-office-space-by-2021/ Manhattan to add 20M sf of new office space by 2021 The space will be spread across 23 buildings: New York Building Congress By Kathryn Brenzel Over the next five years, more than 20 million square feet of new office space is expected to be added to Manhattan. The office space is spread across 23 new buildings, with much of it — approximately 6.5 million square feet — concentrated in Related Companies and Oxford Properties Group’s Hudson Yards projects, according to a new report by the New York Building Congress. The organization bills the increase as a sign of a healthy office market, the best seen in the borough since the 1980s, said Richard Anderson, the organization’s president. The report only counts one building impacted by the Midtown East rezoning — SL Green Realty’s One Vanderbilt, which is expected to be completed in 2021 and will span 1.6 million square feet. More new office space is expected in the neighborhood in the coming decades. Last month, the Department of City Planning released a long-awaited proposal to rezone Midtown East, which seeks to bulk up the neighborhood’s office stock. The proposal identifies 16 sites where a total of 6.5 million square feet of new office space could be added under the rezoning. The proposal, however, estimates that this construction would be completed by 2036 — and it’s not yet clear how many of the property owners at the 16 sites will be on board with adding office space.
