World Trade Center Ⅲ, Office building in Northern Quarter, Brussels, Belgium.
Description
World Trade Center III is a 28-story office building at the intersection of Albert II and Simon Bolivar Boulevards in northern Brussels. The structure contains office spaces designed for international businesses and organizations.
History
The tower was completed in 1983 and marked the final phase of the Brussels World Trade Center project that started in the early 1970s. Its construction represented the growth of Brussels as a major business center during that decade.
Culture
The building reflects Brussels' transformation into an international business hub during the 1980s. Its glass facade and open interior spaces show how people thought modern work and cross-cultural exchange should happen at that time.
Practical
The building is easily reached by public transportation and sits in a busy business district. It is a private office complex, so access to interior areas is generally limited to those with business there.
Did you know?
After September 11, 2001, Belgian citizens formed a human chain around this office tower to show solidarity. This spontaneous action revealed the emotional connection Brussels residents felt toward this symbol of international commerce.
