This was the view out the window this morning at Bisnow's The World Trade Center & The Future of Downtown event. The square is the footprint of one of the towers that came down on 9/11. It will be filled with water and be dedicated as a reflecting pool and memorial this Sept. 11, the 10th anniversary. The new main trade center building, known as Freedom Tower, is on the right in this picture, under construction. |
3,000 construction workers a day are on the job at the trade center site building four buildings and a dramatic new subway station,memorial, and park. Speakers said it will have a Rockefeller Center impact, and together with other things happening nearby (eg, at Brookfield's World Financial Center) will create a new epicenter of New York action downtown. |
