Westfield World Trade Center

Westfield World Trade Center spans six levels in a white steel structure with elongated glass panels that create shifting patterns of light throughout the day. The building houses numerous retail shops and dining options distributed across its different floors.

The building opened in August 2016 as part of the broader reconstruction efforts at the World Trade Center site following the September 11 attacks. This reopening represented a new chapter for the Manhattan neighborhood.

The central hall serves as a venue for rotating art displays and seasonal events that shift throughout the year. This blend of shopping and creative expression transforms the space into a gathering point beyond retail.

The center connects directly to multiple subway lines and the PATH train system for easy access. Shops and restaurants are open daily throughout the year for visitors to explore.

A retractable glass ceiling opens once yearly on September 11, offering an unobstructed view of the sky through the 160-foot-high ribbed structure. This design choice creates a moment of reflection within the shopping experience.
