NEW RENDERINGS SHOW HOW 2 WTC WOULD FIT INTO NYC SKYLINE
Four new renderings show how 2 World Trade Center (WTC), originally conceived by Norman Foster of Foster + Partners, would fit into the NYC skyline, New York YIMBY reports. The British architect recently won a second chance at designing the supertall at 200 Greenwich Street from developer Silverstein Properties, and the renderings, by YIMBY and Instagram user Sinaevart, provide a look at what could become the second-tallest skyscraper in lower Manhattan after the 1,776-ft-tall One WTC. The first shows the four diamond-shaped structures on the crown pointing down toward the 9/11 Memorial, the second is a morning view from Midtown that obscures 3 WTC, the third is a sunset view from New York Harbor beyond the Statute of Liberty and the fourth is from Hudson Square that accentuates the original design’s dark centerline. A new design could look considerably different, and a construction timeline for what would be the final piece of the WTC complex puzzle will depend on landing an anchor tenant.
