Bond, Under Secretary for Technology National Institute of Standards and Technology Hratch G. Semerjian, Acting Director Disclaimer No. 1 Certain commercial entities, equipment, products, or materials are identified in this document in order to describe a procedure or concept adequately or to trace the history of the procedures and practices used. Such identification is not intended to imply recommendation, endorsement, or implication that the entities, products, materials, or equipment are necessarily the best available for the purpose. Nor does such identification imply a finding of fault or negligence by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Disclaimer No. 2 The policy of NIST is to use the International System of Units (metric units) in all publications. In this document, however, units are presented in metric units or the inch-pound system, whichever is prevalent in the discipline. Disclaimer No. 3 Pursuant to section 7 of the National Construction Safety Team Act, the NIST Director has determined that certain evidence received by NIST in the course of this Investigation is “voluntarily provided safety-related information” that is “not directly related to the building failure being investigated” and that “disclosure of that information would inhibit the voluntary provision of that type of information” (15 USC 7306c). In addition, a substantial portion of the evidence collected by NIST in the course of the Investigation has been provided to NIST under nondisclosure agreements. Disclaimer No. 4 NIST takes no position as to whether the design or construction of a WTC building was compliant with any code since, due to the destruction of the WTC buildings, NIST could not verify the actual (or as-built) construction, the properties and condition of the materials used, or changes to the original construction made over the life of the buildings. In addition, NIST could not verify the interpretations of codes used by applicable authorities in determining compliance when implementing building codes. Where an Investigation report states whether a system was designed or installed as required by a code provision, NIST has documentary or anecdotal evidence indicating whether the requirement was met, or NIST has independently conducted tests or analyses indicating whether the requirement was met. Use in Legal Proceedings No part of any report resulting from a NIST investigation into a structural failure or from an investigation under the National Construction Safety Team Act may be used in any suit or action for damages arising out of any matter mentioned in such report (15 USC 281a; as amended by P.L. 107-231).

Multiple sources of information were collected and analyzed: over 1,000 new interviews with survivors (including 803 telephone interviews, 225 face-to-face interviews, and 5 focus groups); over 700 published interviews; 9-1-1 emergency calls; transcripts of emergency communications, historical building design drawings, memoranda, and calculations; formal complaints filed with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration; and other relevant materials. The egress system, including stairwells and elevators, was described and compared to requirement of both contemporary and current code requirements. This report documents the emergency procedures, both as they were designed to be implemented, as well as how they were actually implemented on September 11, 2001. The population in WTC 1 and WTC 2 on September 11, 2001, at 8:46:30 a.m. was enumerated and described, where the characteristics of the population were relevant to the subsequent evacuation, including training, experience, mobility status, among others. The progress of the evacuation of both towers was described in a quasi-chronological manner from 8:46:30 a.m. when WTC 1 was attacked, until 10:28:22 a.m., when WTC 1 collapsed. Causal models were built to explore the sources of evacuation initiation delay (why people did not immediately start to leave the building) as well as normalized stairwell evacuation time (how long the average occupant spent in the stairwells per floor). Issues identified as contributing to either speeding or aiding the evacuation process were explored. Egress simulations provided context for estimating how long WTC 1 and WTC 2 would have taken to evacuate with different populations, using different models, and subject to different damage to the building.

Fusscas Submitted to the Department of Urban Studies and Planning, in partial fulfillment of the Degree of Master of Science in Real Estate ABSTRACT This thesis represents a study of the New York World Trade Center. 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.

    Lower Manhattan Public Art Offers Visitors Grand, Open-Air Museum Experience

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Maria Alvarado, (212) 835.2763, [email protected] LOWER MANHATTAN PUBLIC ART OFFERS VISITORS GRAND, OPEN-AIR MUSEUM EXPERIENCE Works by Dubuffet, Koons and Naguchi are among the 14 unique installations featured South of Chambers Street (February 23, 2015) – With more than a dozen masterpieces from world-renowned artists, Lower Manhattan is home to a remarkable and inspiring public art program. The works of art are now featured in a new walking tour itinerary curated by the Downtown Alliance, “Lower Manhattan by Public Art.” The full tour can be found on the Alliance’s website at http://downtownny.com/walkingtours. The walking tour begins at the district’s northernmost edge at 1 Police Plaza, across from City Hall. Here, visitors will find 5-in-1 by Tony Rosenthal. The artist’s work of five interlocking steel discs, rising to a height of 35 feet, represents the five boroughs coming together as one city. Additional pieces of art featured are: Shadows and Flags by Louise Nevelson (William Street between Maiden Lane and Liberty Street) Seven pieces bundled together as a singular abstract unit alludes to the wafting flags, ceremonious spirals, and blooming trees that define the New York City landscape. Group of Four Trees by Jean Dubuffet (28 Liberty Street) The “four trees” are created by a series of intertwined irregular planes, which lean in different directions and are connected by thick black outlines. The piece is part of Dubuffet’s “L’Hourloupe” cycle — a bold, graphic style inspired by a doodle. Sunken Garden by Isamu Noguchi (28 Liberty Street) In the winter, the garden, set one story below ground level, is a dry circular expanse; in the summer, it is transformed into a giant water fountain.

  • The Politics of Planning the World's Most Visible Urban Redevelopment Project

    The Politics of Planning the World's Most Visible Urban Redevelopment Project

    The Politics of Planning the World's Most Visible Urban Redevelopment Project Lynne B. Sagalyn THREE YEARS after the terrorist attack of September 11,2001, plans for four key elements in rebuilding the World Trade Center (WC) site had been adopted: restoring the historic streetscape, creating a new public transportation gate- way, building an iconic skyscraper, and fashioning the 9/11 memorial. Despite this progress, however, what ultimately emerges from this heavily argued deci- sionmakmg process will depend on numerous design decisions, financial calls, and technical executions of conceptual plans-or indeed, the rebuilding plan may be redefined without regard to plans adopted through 2004. These imple- mentation decisions will determine whether new cultural attractions revitalize lower Manhattan and whether costly new transportation investments link it more directly with Long Island's commuters. These decisions will determine whether planned open spaces come about, and market forces will determine how many office towers rise on the site. In other words, a vision has been stated, but it will take at least a decade to weave its fabric. It has been a formidable challenge for a city known for its intense and frac- tious development politics to get this far. This chapter reviews the emotionally charged planning for the redevelopment of the WTC site between September 2001 and the end of 2004. Though we do not yet know how these plans will be reahzed, we can nonetheless examine how the initial plans emerged-or were extracted-from competing ambitions, contentious turf battles, intense architectural fights, and seemingly unresolvable design conflicts.

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.

Ciochetti Chairman, Interdepartmental Degree Program in Real Estate Development A Real Options Case Study: The Valuation of Flexibility in the World Trade Center Redevelopment by Alberto P. Cailao Submitted to the Center for Real Estate on July 24, 2009 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Real Estate Development Abstract This thesis will apply the past research and methodologies of Real Options to Tower 2 and Tower 3 of the World Trade Center redevelopment project in New York, NY. The qualitative component of the thesis investigates the history behind the stalled development of Towers 2 and 3 and examines a potential contingency that could have mitigated the market risk. The quantitative component builds upon that story and creates a hypothetical Real Options case as a framework for applying and valuing building use flexibility in a large-scale, politically charged, real estate development project.
