7 World Trade Center, Office skyscraper in Lower Manhattan, US
Description
7 World Trade Center is an office tower in Lower Manhattan that rises 52 stories to a height of 738 feet (225 meters). The facade consists of floor-to-ceiling glass walls with a blue tint, supported by a steel and concrete framework.
History
Construction finished in 2006, marking the first rebuilt structure at the World Trade Center site after September 11, 2001. David Childs of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill designed the structure as part of the area's renewal.
Culture
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. This combination allows art to become part of everyday office life rather than being confined to galleries alone.
Practical
The structure contains 29 high-speed destination dispatch elevators and offers direct access to the World Trade Center subway station, though it primarily operates as a private office building without public tours. Visitors can view the architecture and art installations from the outside and ground floor.
Did you know?
As New York City's first LEED Gold certified office building, it uses an on-site microturbine power plant that generates 40 percent of base electrical load needs. This system reduces carbon emissions and makes the building an early example of sustainable design in high-rise construction.
