175 Greenwich Street is the address for a new skyscraper being erected as part of the World Trade Center reconstruction in New York City. The office building has also been referred to as World Trade Center Tower 3 and will be on the east side of Greenwich Street, across the street from the original location of the twin towers that were destroyed during the September 11, 2001 attacks. Pritzker Prize-winning architect Sir Richard Rogers was awarded the contract to design the building, which will be 1,155 feet (352 m) tall. The building slightly resembles the John Hancock Center in Chicago. The four spires in the design would give the building a pinnacle height of 1,255 feet (383 m).[1]. The total floor space of the building is anticipated to include 2 million square feet (186,000 square meters) of office and retail space. The building's groundbreaking took place in January 2008, and it is scheduled to be completed by 2014.[2][3] The structural engineer for the building is WSP.[4]
Upon completion, 175 Greenwich Street's pinnacle height will be taller than the Empire State Building's roof (381 m) and it will become the fourth tallest building in New York City as measured to its pinnacle.
Future
On May 11, 2009, it was announced that the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey was seeking to reduce 175 Greenwich Street to a "stump" building of approximately four stories.[5] The overall plan, which also calls for a similar reduction in height for 200 Greenwich Street and the cancellation of World Trade Center Tower 5, would halve the amount of office space avilable in the fully reconstructed World Trade Center to 5 million square feet (465,000 m²).[5] One World Trade Center and 150 Greenwich Street would the only two buildings to be constructed as previously planned.[5] The agency cited the recession and disagreements with developer Larry Silverstein as reasons for the proposed reduction.[5]There was a meeting held on June 11th 2009 to make a final agreement between Silverstein, The Port Authority, and the Government of New York and New Jersey about the development of 200 and 175 Greenwich Street.
