WTC at 25

A quarter-century after the city’s darkest day, the World Trade Center is a gleaming hub of activity in Lower Manhattan. Go behind the scenes of some of its most striking architectural landmarks. Presented with support from New York Building Foundation.

A quarter-century after the darkest day in the city’s modern history, the World Trade Center has been almost completely rebuilt, serving as a destination within an increasingly mixed-use Financial District (or FiDi, if you like). Today’s WTC complex is far from a standard office park, with arts and cultural facilities, retail, and a stirring memorial and park all woven between skyscrapers containing millions of square feet of commercial office space atop a bustling 24-hour transit hub serving both New York and New Jersey.


Reflect upon the site’s legacy and its incredible transformation in a special collection of tours, organized in partnership with the New York Building Foundation, during this year’s OHNY Weekend.
