The Reopening of the World Trade Center

The Reopening of the World Trade Center

On November 3rd, 2014, New York City proved once again that it can unite and overcome anything. After 13 years, One world TradeWorld Trade Center Center reopened. The 104-story, $3.9 billion skyscraper opened Monday as the publishing giant began its move from Times Square to downtown. The official opening of the building marks the end of a long process to rebuild the site following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

The first company to move into the Freedom Towers was publishing giant Condé Nast. They were the first out of 3,400 employees to move into the 104-story, $3.9 billion skyscraper that is the centerpiece of the 16-acre site. The company’s chief executive Chuck Townsend stated, “This is a terrific day for Lower Manhattan, a wonderful day for New York City, and a great day for Condé Nast.” I couldn’t agree with him more. I was in Manhattan that day and felt great pride as I passed the Freedom Tower all lit up out of my cab window.
