175 Greenwich Street is the address for a new skyscraper being erected as part of the World Trade Center reconstruction in New York City. The office building has also been referred to as World Trade Center Tower 3 and 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, 2001 attacks. Pritzker Prize-winning architect Sir Richard Rogers was awarded the contract to design the building, which will be 1,155 feet (352 m) tall. The four spires in the design would give the building a pinnacle height of 1,255 feet (383 m).[1] Since spires are included in the official height of a building, 175 Greenwich Street would stand two meters taller than the Empire State Building to become the third-tallest building in New York City, behind the Freedom Tower and 200 Greenwich Street. The total floor space of the building is anticipated to include 2 million square feet (186,000 square meters) of office and retail space. The building's groundbreaking took place in January 2008, and it is scheduled to be completed by 2011.[2] The structural engineer for the building is WSP/Expedition Engineering Ltd.[3]
