NYC - New 7 World Trade Center

The new 7 World Trade Center office building officially opened on May 23, 2006 after the original was destroyed on September 11, 2001. It was the first building to be rebuilt with a World Trade Center address and was not included in the original World Trade Center master plan by Daniel Libeskind.

The 52-story building, designed by David Childs of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill in conjunction with glass designer/artist James Carpenter, is is 750 feet tall, and contains 1,700,000 square feet of leasable office space starting from the 11th floor. The first ten floors are devoted to an electrical substation which powers most of Lower Manhattan. They used ultra-clear, low-iron glass to provide reflectivity and light, with stainless-steel spandrels behind the glass that also help reflect sunlight.

Artist Jenny Holzer created a large light installation inside the main lobby with glowing text moving across wide plastic panels. The entire wall is about 30 meters wide by 7 meters tall and changes colors, according to the time of day.

The building is considered New York City's first "green" office tower by gaining gold status in the US Green Building Council's LEED program. Rainwater is collected and used for irrigation of a triangular park, and to cool the building. Recycled steel was used in the building's construction.

The park outside was created by David Childs with Ken Smith and his colleague Annie Weinmayr of Ken Smith Landscape Architect. It consists simply of an open plaza with a fountain and groves of trees. The fountain features Jeff Koons's mirror-polished stainless steel sculpture, Balloon Flower (Red), which represents a twisted balloon in the shape of a flower.
