World Financial Center: New York


   World Financial Center located across the street from the original World Trade
   Center is home to offices of big corporations like Merrill Lynch, RBC Capital
   Markets, Nomura Group, American Express, Dow Jones and Brookfield Office
   Properties among others

   The four towers, ranging from 33 to 54 stories, provide eight-million square feet
   of office, retail and public space on fourteen acres of land in the center of Battery
   Park City. Four stocky, polished granite-and-glass towers are topped with
   geometrically shaped crowns, each one identifying their owners: a dome for
   Merrill Lynch, a solid pyramid for American Express, a cut pyramid for Dow
   Jones and Oppenheimer and a solid pyramid for number three World Financial
   Center.

World Financial Center: New York Tours

The World Financial Center is currently undergoing
a $250 million renovation and expansion project.
The main elements of the project include a transit
pavilion to be built as an extension of the existing
Winter Garden building, on the West Street end.
Preliminary plans had called for the demolition of
the Grand Staircase, which until 2001 was the main
focal entry point to the Winter Garden and the
waterfront, as it connected to the Vesey Street
pedestrian bridge adjacent to the original World
Trade Center. The Grand Staircase has also been
used as an amphitheater; thus, the plans for
demolition had outraged residents, who promptly
appealed for its preservation in the latest
redevelopment plans. The transit pavilion is slated
to open in fall 2013 and is expected to have an
address at 100 West Street.



                                                       © OnBoard 2010   3
World Financial Center: NY Attraction

For New Yorkers, the Winter Garden at the World Financial
Center remains one of the City’s best-kept secrets. The
spectacular glass atrium overlooking the Hudson River makes
a picture-perfect venue, and year-round programming that
ranges from dance and music performances to food events
and art installations is ripe for discovery. Best of all,
admission to exhibitions is always free of charge.

One notable example is 2 World Financial Center: a
European-style marketplace and a dining terrace are expected
to open in fall 2013. The space between 3 and 4 WFC, at 225
Vesey Street, which currently contains retail, will be
expanded to accommodate in‑line retail and high end fashion
retail, according to the plans and renderings.

World Financial Center: Buildings

A new food truck court has been in
operation since early 2012 on North End
Avenue. Various food trucks that
operate around New York City, serving
a variety of foods, service the World
Financial Center/Battery Park City area
five days a week during lunch hours.

Overall, the intent is to drive more
tourism in the area with the retail and
the new access to the passageway
under West Street. It is also being
developed as a catalyst to integrate and
drive development in the Battery Park
City area, of which the World Financial
Center sits promptly in between the
largely residential neighborhood.

  • 4. World Financial Center: NY Attraction For New Yorkers, the Winter Garden at the World Financial Center remains one of the City’s best-kept secrets. The spectacular glass atrium overlooking the Hudson River makes a picture-perfect venue, and year-round programming that ranges from dance and music performances to food events and art installations is ripe for discovery. Best of all, admission to exhibitions is always free of charge. One notable example is 2 World Financial Center: a European-style marketplace and a dining terrace are expected to open in fall 2013. The space between 3 and 4 WFC, at 225 Vesey Street, which currently contains retail, will be expanded to accommodate in‑line retail and high end fashion retail, according to the plans and renderings. © OnBoard 2010 4
  • 5. World Financial Center: Buildings A new food truck court has been in operation since early 2012 on North End Avenue. Various food trucks that operate around New York City, serving a variety of foods, service the World Financial Center/Battery Park City area five days a week during lunch hours. Overall, the intent is to drive more tourism in the area with the retail and the new access to the passageway under West Street. It is also being developed as a catalyst to integrate and drive development in the Battery Park City area, of which the World Financial Center sits promptly in between the largely residential neighborhood.
