NEW YORK—Progress on the World Trade Center site was shown off Friday morning when Silverstein Properties led a tour of 4 World Trade Center.
The original 16-acre WTC site, occupied by the Twin Towers before the 9/11 attacks, will have four skyscrapers when construction is completed. A fifth already-completed smaller tower, 7 World Trade Center, sits just outside the site.
The structure on display during the tour, 4 World Trade Center, at 72 stories and 2.3 million square feet, will be the shortest skyscraper on the site.
About two-thirds of the building’s mix of retail and office space is currently leased, with a quarter of the office space designed to be the new headquarters for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
The WTC has been a complex site to work on, said Frank Hussey, superintendent for 4 World Trade Center.
