the World Trade
Center, 7 WTC shares
the complex's name,

separate from the 16-

741 feet and 52-stories-
tall and designed by a
team from Skidmore,
Owings & Merrill, it sits
on the same site as the
old 7 WTC.
WTC TRANSPORTATION HUB
GETTING THERE
Together with the new MTA Fulton Transit Center, coming and
going is fast & convenient. It’s the equivalent of having Grand
Central, Times Square and Penn Station all in one place.
The World Trade Center features direct, weather-protected access to 11
subways & PATH trains, and most of the City’s bus and ferry lines.
The stunning new WTC Transportation Hub was designed by
Santiago Calatrava.
WESTFIELD MALL
The second Mall at the World Trade Center, currently under construction, calls for
roughly 365,000 square feet (33,900 m2
) of retail space, which will once again make it
the largest shopping mall in Manhattan. Although the new mall will only be spread
over roughly one half of the original mall's footprint (due to the new space required for
the WTC Museum, the mall will be double-level, whereas the original mall was a single-
level mall. Three additional levels will also exist above-grade on the lower floors of
Towers 2 and 3, and Tower 4 will house four above-grade levels.
BROOKFIELD MALL
In the shadow of One World Trade Center, the colossal
skyscraper in Lower Manhattan, lies a newly renovated luxury mall
that hopes to be a mecca for swanky shopping.
BROOKFIELD
MALL
Brookfield Place connects underground to the rest of the
World Trade Center and transportation hubs.
MUSEUM
911 Museum
Almost entirely underground, the 9/11 Museum holds a number of artifacts and
exhibits connected to the site's history and the 2001 terrorist attacks. Artifacts
in the haunting, hallowed space include the Survivors' Staircase, FDNY fire
trucks, an ambulance, and the "last column."
911 MEMORIAL AND MUSEUM
A tribute of remembrance and honor. Occupying eight of the 16 acres at the
World Trade Center, the 9/11 Memorial and Museum are tributes to the past and
a place of hope for the future.

911 STEEL RETURNED TO WTC
The World Trade Center cross, also known as the Ground Zero cross,
is a group of steel beams found among the debris of the World Trade Center
site in Lower Manhattan, New York City, following the September 11 attacks in
2001. This set of beams is so named because it resembles a Christian Cross.
9/11 Memorial
The 9/11 Memorial is a large public plaza officially called "Reflecting Absence." It
features rows of trees and benches around two recessed pools, which sit in the
footprints of the Twin Towers.
Water cascades down the sides and disappears into
a second recessed area, the bottoms of which cannot
be seen from the plaza..
The memorial opened to victims' families on
September 11, 2011 and to the public the day
after.
