Commemorated by a ribbon-cutting ceremony held in the building\u2019s lobby with the developer Larry Silverstein, government leaders and building tenants in attendance, the completion of the 80-story, 2.5 million-square-foot office building marks a milestone for the new World Trade Center, becoming the second-to-last tower to open on the 16-acre site. 3 WTC will welcome more than 6,000 new employees to Lower Manhattan this year, from tenants GroupM, McKinsey and IEX.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a moment of enormous pride for me and for everyone in the Silverstein organization, and for the thousands of women and men who had a hand in creating this amazing building,\u201d said Larry A. Silverstein, Chairman, Silverstein Properties. \u201cStarting with 7 WTC and the rest of the towers that followed, we sought to create modern, environmentally-conscious and technologically-advanced offices. Places that foster creativity where young people would want to work and collaborate. That meant great architecture and sustainable design, but also improved transportation, a more vibrant streetscape, new shops and restaurants, great public spaces, and exciting and fun public space art.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe new 3 World Trade Center is a soaring symbol of the revitalization of downtown New York City and a testament to the enduring spirit of New Yorkers after 9\/11. 3 World Trade will be a hub of commercial activity and growth for the city and support our efforts to ensure New York remains the economic capital of the world,&#8221; said Governor Andrew Cuomo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe continued resurgence of Lower Manhattan is a powerful demonstration of the resilience of New York City. We rose from tragedy bigger, bolder, stronger, and still open to the world. 3WTC is the next chapter in that story,\u201d said Mayor Bill de Blasio.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor the Port Authority family, our stewardship of World Trade Center could not be more sacred,\u201d said Port Authority Chairman Kevin O\u2019Toole. \u201cToday marks a pivotal moment in its ongoing evolution from construction site to a living campus welcoming millions of annual visitors and tens of thousands of workers every day. The remarkable renaissance it represents is a fitting tribute to all of those who were lost on September 11 and the countless others who were impacted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe World Trade Center campus is now more open, more welcoming, and more dynamic than ever before,\u201d said Port Authority Executive Director Rick Cotton. \u201cThe opening of 3WTC, coupled with new pedestrian areas, public art, and community events, further unlocks its value and the entire site\u2019s resurgence as a true anchor of the Lower Manhattan community. Congratulations to Silverstein Properties, the many talented people throughout this complex public-private partnership, and the thousands of men and women whose dedicated hard work made it a reality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s truly amazing to see the new life of the World Trade Center campus, and to celebrate this wonderful achievement,\u201d said Congresswoman Carolyn B. Maloney (NY-12). \u201cIt has taken constant work from me and my colleagues to ensure that our city received the funding it was promised by the federal government to help affected individuals and businesses recover. Larry Silverstein has been instrumental in the revival of Lower Manhattan-3WTC is just another milestone in its continued revival. I applaud him for his continued commitment to the neighborhood, his energy and hard work have been critical to the rebirth of this area.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Located at 175 Greenwich Street, 3 WTC was designed by Pritzker prize-winning architecture firm Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners. Featuring a reinforced concrete core encased by a steel structure and defined by its load-sharing system of K-shaped bracing, the building has floor-to-ceiling glass and column-free floor plates, creating unobstructed 360-degree panoramic views of New York City.<\/p>\n<p>With a total of 2.5 million square feet of office space, the 80-story tower will feature 30,000 to 70,000 square foot floors with 360-degree Manhattan views and 13-foot 6\u201d to 24-foot ceilings. Three floors (17, 60 and 76) offer tenants access to outdoor terrace space. Consistent with the Silverstein organization\u2019s commitment to sustainable design and energy efficiency, and following 7 and 4 WTC, 3 WTC will be a LEED-certified Gold office tower.<\/p>\n<p>Richard Rogers, founding partner, Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners said: \u201cIt has been a great privilege to design one of the new buildings on this key site in New York. We are particularly delighted that we have been working in the heart of this vibrant city. This was a complex and challenging project, but one which has helped to contribute to the revitalization of New York City and one which will help to inspire a new hope for the city\u2019s future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Richard Paul, Partner and Project Lead, Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners said: \u201cThis building is an exceptional location within the revitalized urban fabric of Lower Manhattan. It makes a significant step towards a new sense of place in New York\u2019s World Trade Center. The new workplace will bring vitality to the area and with the extensive public realm, a new sense of urban integration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Anchored by media investment firm GroupM, 3 WTC recently signed leases with stock exchange company IEX and management consulting firm McKinsey &amp; Co. In addition, 3 WTC features over 216,000 square feet of retail space, spanning five floors. Located next to the WTC Transit Hub and above Westfield\u2019s shops, 3 WTC is also connected underground to Brookfield Place.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re proud to be the anchor tenant of 3 World Trade Center,\u201d said Kelly Clark, Global CEO of GroupM. \u201cLower Manhattan is quickly becoming a world capital for advertising, media, technology and information. We\u2019re excited about our inspiring new space and everything this neighborhood has to offer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In total, the construction of 3 WTC involved the work of more than 4,000 union construction workers over the course of millions of hours. The building is expected to employ approximately 100 permanent and temporary workers to operate and maintain.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince the moment Larry Silverstein called Dan Tishman just after September 11th, we\u2019ve been working with Silverstein Properties non-stop for almost 17 years. Together, our teams have accomplished what at times seemed impossible,\u201d said Jay Badame, President and COO, AECOM Tishman. \u201cAs this incredible building joins its iconic neighbors, we owe a tremendous debt of gratitude for the hard-work and dedication of the thousands of skilled trades people, architects and engineers who made it happen. We couldn\u2019t be more proud to have been part of this project.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to a recent Downtown Alliance report, Lower Manhattan\u2019s vacancy rate among commercial inventory remained below 10 percent for the fifth consecutive quarter. Last year marked one of the neighborhood\u2019s most active seasons for commercial real estate activity, during which the Financial District topped all other submarkets in leasing transactions. Emphasizing the area\u2019s attractiveness among incoming companies and private sector professionals, particularly a growing number of media companies, Downtown Manhattan now houses over 242,000 professionals, signaling the highest employment level in the neighborhood in over 15 years.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The opening of 3 World Trade Center is an important milestone not just for Lower Manhattan but for New York and the nation,&#8221; said Jessica Lappin, President of the Alliance for Downtown New York. &#8220;As the future home to both ad giant GroupM and consulting legend McKinsey, the building stands as a testament to the emergence of Lower Manhattan as a destination for an increasingly diverse set of companies. 3 World Trade&#8217;s first day is also a proud moment for our nation. With its opening, the entire World Trade Center campus takes a huge stride forward towards completion.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW YORK, NY \u2013 June 11, 2018\u00a0\u2013 Silverstein Properties, a full-service real estate development, investment and management firm, today opened New York City\u2019s fifth-tallest tower, 3 World Trade Center.
