complex's name, but is
technically separate

WTC TRANSPORTATION HUB
GETTING THERE
Together with the new MTA Fulton Transit Center, coming and
going is fast & convenient. It’s the equivalent of having Grand
Central, Times Square and Penn Station all in one place.
The World Trade Center features direct, weather-protected access to 11
subways & PATH trains, and most of the City’s bus and ferry lines.
The stunning new WTC Transportation Hub was designed by
Santiago Calatrava.
The second Mall at the World Trade Center, currently under construction, calls for
roughly 365,000 square feet (33,900 m2) of retail space, which will once again make it
the largest shopping mall in Manhattan. Although the new mall will only be spread
over roughly one half of the original mall's footprint (due to the new space required for
the WTC Museum, the mall will be double-level, whereas the original mall was a singlelevel mall. Three additional levels will also exist above-grade on the lower floors of
Towers 2 and 3, and Tower 4 will house four above-grade levels.

In the shadow of One World Trade Center, the colossal skyscraper
in Lower Manhattan, lies a newly renovated luxury mall that hopes

911 STEEL RETURNED TO WTC
The World Trade Center cross, also known as the Ground Zero cross,
is a group of steel beams found among the debris of the World Trade Center
site in Lower Manhattan, New York City, following the September 11 attacks in
2001. This set of beams is so named because it resembles a Christian Cross.
9/11 Memorial
The 9/11 Memorial is a large public plaza officially called "Reflecting Absence." It
features rows of trees and benches around two recessed pools, which sit in the
footprints of the Twin Towers.
Water cascades down the sides and disappears into a second
recessed area, the bottoms of which cannot be seen from the
plaza..
The memorial opened to victims' families on
September 11, 2011 and to the public the day
after.
WORLD TRADE CENTER MEMORIALL
Tickets were previously needed to visit the
memorial, but after the surrounding barriers
were removed this spring, the public can now
just walk in off the street.
It is open at night and completely open to the public.
