7 World Trade Center

The 52-story construction reaches 738 feet (225 meters) in height and displays floor-to-ceiling glass walls supported by a steel and concrete framework, while the facade exhibits a blue tint.

Construction was completed in 2006, representing the first structure rebuilt at the World Trade Center site after September 11, 2001, designed by David Childs of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill.

The building integrates art installations by Jamie Carpenter and Jenny Holzer into its architectural design, expanding Manhattan's collection of contemporary public art displayed within commercial spaces.

The structure contains 29 high-speed destination dispatch elevators and provides direct access to multiple subway lines at the World Trade Center station, though it primarily functions as a private office building without public tours.

As New York City's first LEED Gold certified office building, it incorporates advanced environmental systems including an on-site microturbine power plant that generates 40 percent of base electrical load needs while reducing carbon emissions.
