Excavation as seen September 2008 
Construction at 200 Greenwich Street, known as World Trade Center (WTC) 2, is slated to start in 2009. Designed by British architect Lord Norman Foster, “T2” will stand as New York’s second-tallest skyscraper, after the Freedom Tower. At 78 stories (1,254 feet), its height, distinct cruciform core, and diagonal roof will set the skyscraper apart on the downtown skyline. The tower was planned to open in 2012.

The office tower will house four trading floors, 11.5 floors of building mechanicals, 143,000 square feet of retail space, and a sky lobby. At its base, the building will connect with the neighborhood via its 65-foot-tall main lobby and glass façade, as well as by its direct access to the WTC Transportation Hub and Memorial plaza. At its peak, the glass “roof” slants upward from the west side of the 59th floor, sending morning sunlight down to the Memorial.

Along with Towers 3 and 4, T2’s design was unveiled by rebuilding officials in a September 8, 2006 press conference. The three east-side towers have several common features, such as central cores made of steel encased in reinforced concrete, and “green” systems that will earn Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification. They also will have external structural steel frames and safety systems that exceed New York City building code and Port Authority requirements.

All of the posted information, including schedules and completion dates are based on the information provided by the project managers. Click here for a tour of the rebuilding projects taking place in Lower Manhattan. Click here to read more about WTC Tower 2.
