Rent World Trade Center Retail

Geographic Boundaries

The World Trade Center neighborhood in Lower Manhattan is bounded by Vesey Street to the north, West Side Highway to the west, Liberty Street to the south, and Church Street to the east. It falls within the NYC Exposure Zone, defined as the area south of Canal Street extending to the East River. The New York City Disaster Area further designates the zone south of Houston Street, with specific eligibility areas related to 9/11 response efforts.

Businesses and Retail

The rebuilt World Trade Center complex houses a mix of high-end retailers, financial institutions, and corporate offices. The Oculus transportation hub includes a luxury retail concourse with brands like Apple, Dior, and Eileen Fisher. Fine dining options include Manhatta (contemporary American cuisine) and CUT by Wolfgang Puck (steakhouse). The neighborhood also features casual eateries and coffee shops catering to commuters and tourists.

Historical Attractions

The original Twin Towers (1973-2001) served as a global commerce hub before their destruction in the 9/11 attacks. The current site includes the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, featuring twin reflecting pools marking the original tower footprints. One World Trade Center (Freedom Tower), completed in 2014, stands as the Western Hemisphere's tallest building at 1,776 feet. The restored St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church and the Survivor Tree (a callery pear rescued from the rubble) serve as symbols of resilience.

Architectural Landscape

The complex features six major structures: One WTC (104 floors), 3 WTC (80 floors), 4 WTC (72 floors), 7 WTC (52 floors), the Oculus (Santiago Calatrava-designed transportation hub), and the Ronald O. Perelman Performing Arts Center. The nearby 90 Church Street Post Office (ZIP code 10007) and the American Express Tower at 200 Vesey Street complement the glass-and-steel skyline. The Winter Garden Atrium and Brookfield Place offer public spaces with waterfront views.

Transportation Infrastructure

The WTC Transportation Hub connects to PATH trains (New Jersey routes), 11 NYC subway lines (A/C/E/R/W/1/2/3/4/5/J/Z), and ferry terminals. Multiple MTA bus routes serve the area, including the M55 and M20. The West Side Highway provides vehicular access, while Citi Bike stations offer bike-sharing options. The Battery Parking Garage and nearby lots accommodate private vehicle parking.

Adjacent ZIP Codes

The primary ZIP code is 10007, covering the World Trade Center and Tribeca areas. Adjacent ZIPs include 10006 (Financial District east of Church Street), 10280 (Battery Park City), 10013 (southern SoHo), and 10004 (southern Financial District). The former 10048 ZIP code for the original WTC was discontinued post-9/11, though occasionally used for commemorative mailings.

Corporate Presence

Major tenants include: Condé Nast (publishing, 1 WTC), Moody's Corporation (financial services, 7 WTC), and BMB Group (advertising, 4 WTC). The complex also houses government agencies like the Port Authority of NY & NJ and financial firms such as Bank of America Securities. Technology companies and legal firms increasingly occupy space in newer towers, reflecting the area's evolution from traditional finance to mixed-use commerce.
