Transportation Hub |Three World Trade Center (also known by its street address, 175 Greenwich Street) is a skyscraper to become part of the World Trade Center reconstruction in New York City.[5] The office building will be on the east side of Greenwich Street, across the street from the original location of the Twin Towers that were destroyed during the September 11 attacks. Pritzker Prize-winning architect RichardRogers (Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners) was awarded the contract to design the building, which will be 352 m (1,155 ft). As of the beginning of 2012, the building is currently above street level, as its below-grade foundations are being completed. It is expected to be the third tallest building in the new WTC complex to be finished, after towers One, Two, and Four.

[edit] Background
Three World Trade Center will have a podium several stories tall for the trading floors and a tower of office floors rising from it. The diamond braces originally planned for the front and rear faces of the building have been dropped from the design and the tower willbe built without them. However, the diagonal bracing on the sides will remain. The four spires in the design will give the tower a pinnacle height of 1,240 feet (378 m), meaning it will become the fourth-tallest building in New York City by pinnacle height.[6] The total floor space of the building is anticipated to include 2,000,000 sq ft (190,000 m2) of office and retail space. The building'sgroundbreaking took place in January 2008, and at that time it was scheduled to be completed by 2014.[7][8] The structural engineer for the building is WSP.[9] In November 2010, three PureCell fuel cells were delivered at the World Trade Center site which together will provide about 30% of the tower’s power.[10]
[edit] Controversy
On May 11, 2009, it was announced that the Port Authority of New Yorkand New Jersey was seeking to reduce 175 Greenwich Street to a "stump" building of approximately four stories. The overall plan, which also called for a similar reduction in height for 200 Greenwich Street and the cancellation of World Trade Center Tower 5, would halve the amount of office space available in the fully reconstructed World Trade Center to 5,000,000 sq ft (460,000 m2).
