World Trade Center Tower (WTC) Three was designed by architect Lord Richard Rogers and stands apart from its neighboring towers through its diamond-shaped external bracing pattern and four rooftop antennae. Located at 175 Greenwich, the tower is at the heart of the WTC's east side structures.
Three WTC is planned to rise 71 stories (1,137 feet) and house 2.1 million square feet of office and 133,000 square feet of retail space. However the schedule of this tower is dependent on Silverstein Properties raising the additional funds as agreed to with the Port Authority in August of 2010. The current schedule builds a podium to the seventh floor read more on the agreement. The tower when complete will feature five trading floors, five retail levels (including two below grade), and mechanical floors at the base and crown of the building. Like all of the new WTC towers, Tower Three is planned to be LEED Gold certified by the U.S. Green Building Council.
