2 World Trade Center

VERTICAL VILLAGE + MODERN TOWER — The design of 2 WTC is derived from its urban context at the meeting point between two very different neighborhoods: the Financial District with its modernist skyscrapers and TriBeCa with its lofts and roof gardens.

Built on a Strong Foundation — The needs and requirements of the tenants are concentrated into seven separate building volumes, each tailored to their unique activities. The volumes are stacked on top of each other from the largest to the smallest, creating unity out of diversity.

The Site — 2 WTC is located at 200 Greenwich Street and bounded by Church Street to the East, Vesey Street to the North and Fulton Street to the South. The base of the building utilizes the maximum area of the 56,000 sq ft site.

Transition Between Typologies — Floorplates between the maximum-size and minimum-size are optimized to specific tenant needs and requirements.

Following the "Wedge of Light" — 2 WTC is aligned along the axis of Daniel Libeskind's "Wedge of Light" plaza to preserve the views to St. Paul's Chapel from the Memorial Park.

Learning Towards 1 WTC — As a result of the stacked volumes, the building steps at an angle parallel to the incline of 1 WTC. A nod to the twins that previously stood on the site.

Stepping Terraces to St. Paul's Chapel — The terraces are heavily planted, creating a vertical succession of the greenery rising from St. Paul's to the skyline.

2 WTC — 2 WTC is a building that brings together TriBeCa and FiDi at the nexus of the Memorial Park.
