ThreeWorld Trade Center Tower (WTC) was designed by architect Lord Richard Rogers and stands apart from its neighboring towers through its diamond-shaped external bracing pattern and four rooftop antennae. Located at 175 Greenwich, the tower is at the heart of the WTC's east side structures.
Three WTC is planned to rise 71 stories (1,137 feet) and house 2.1 million square feet of office and 133,000 square feet of retail space. However the schedule of this tower is dependent on Silverstein Properties raising the additional funds as agreed to with the Port Authority in August of 2010. The current schedule builds a podium to the seventh floor by summer 2012. (Read more on the agreement). The tower, once complete, will feature five trading floors, five retail levels (including two below grade), and mechanical floors at the base and crown of the building. Like all of the new WTC towers, Tower Three is planned to be LEED Gold certified by the U.S. Green Building Council.

Excavation for Tower Three began in February 2008 and was completed in August 2009. Developer Silverstein Properties and the Port Authority renegotiated construction plans for the building's erection in mid-2010, and the building's podium (and retail space) is currently slated for completion in late spring 2012. Pending market conditions, it would be built to full height by mid-2015.
