27 Jan 2012 3 World Trade Center - News Skyscraper plan at 3 World Trade Center may be abandoned The skyscraper design by UK architect Richard Rogers on the site of the World Trade Center may have to be abandoned after developers fail to attract any interest. World Trade Centre Tower Three - design by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners: images : RSHP, Team Macarie I Courtesy of: Silverstein Properties The tower, to be named 3 World Trade Center, was due to rise 80 stories above Ground Zero, and had been scheduled for completion in 2015 – 14 years after the terrorist attacks on New York. But in response to a lack of interest from prospective tenants, Larry Silverstein, the site’s developer, said plans may be scaled back and instead construct a building of only seven stories unless tenants were found this year. The new building would become a retail mall rather than the office space planned for the original skyscraper building.

The main skyscraper by Libeskind was to be a significant number of feet high - 1,776 feet - to mark a key American date in history - United States Year of Independence; the building was largely handed over to architect David Childs. Designed to be the tallest tower in the world for the site leaseholder - real estate developer Larry Silverstein. The angular design is typical for Libeskind but here echoes the Statue of Liberty. A Snohetta building was also due to appear but the situation is in a state of flux. Daniel Libeskind was commissioned to design the Freedom Tower after a strongly contested World Trade Center design competition in Feb 2003, beating architects such as Norman Foster and in the end winning a two-strong shortlist. Six teams were shortlisted in Sep 2002 out of over 400 submissions, including: Foster & Partners Richard Meier Architect Studio Daniel Libeskind United Architects Think Group World Trade Center Towers - Article on Ground Zero / World Trade Center Gehry Partners LLP and Snøhetta were selected as architects for the World Trade Center cultural complex by Lower Manhattan Development Corporation in Dec 2004 New York Skyscrapers Ground Zero site New York - photo: Andrew McRae, 2007 In 1946 New York State Legislature set up a WTC Corporation to analyse such a facility. The World Trade Centre idea formed in 1960* and preliminary drawings were drawn up by SOM, who slipped in behind Libeskind 43 years later (via David Childs). Michigan-based Minori Yamasaki and Emery Roth & Sons completed the Twin Towers between 1966 and 1973. Yamasaki had over a hundred schemes, one being a single 150-storey tower. Towers 1 & 2, nicknamed ‘David & Nelson’ after the supportive Rockefeller Brothers became quintessential New York symbols, appearing on a large proportion of postcards.
