"The result, based on recently released renderings, is a broad rectangular tower sheathed in glass, with three open-air terraces and six landscaped corner gardens woven into the facade to bring some greenery to an otherwise sleek profile."
"The tower will rise to 1,226 feet, comfortably placing it in the supertall category and making it roughly the 11th-tallest building in the United States. It won't overtake its famous neighbor, though. One World Trade Center still holds the title of the country's tallest at a symbolically chosen 1,776 feet."
"Inside, the building will offer close to two million square feet of usable space across 55 stories, with the bulk of that dedicated to offices. When fully occupied, it could house around 10,000 workers."
Nearly 25 years after the September 11 attacks, the World Trade Center campus reconstruction nears completion with 2 World Trade Center as the final major commercial tower. Foster + Partners designed the structure after previous iterations were abandoned. The 1,226-foot tower will contain approximately two million square feet of office space across 55 stories, accommodating around 10,000 workers. The building features three open-air terraces and six landscaped corner gardens integrated into its glass facade. American Express will occupy the building as its corporate headquarters. The project incorporates smart building technology, energy-efficient systems, and targets LEED certification, reflecting contemporary sustainability standards for major commercial developments.
