    World Trade Center

    World Trade Center

    The new World Trade Center is a sprawling 16 acre mixed-used environment composed of 5 iconic office towers… an 8-acre Memorial Plaza… and over half a million square feet of shopping and dining. The Transportation Hub makes it one of the most convenient places to access in the city.

    The site is bounded by Vesey Street to the north, the West Side Highway to the west, Liberty Street to the south, and Church street to the east.
