A World-Class Retail Destination at the new World Trade Center

The new World Trade Center will offer retail facilities second to none, with a vast array of shopping, dining and entertainment offerings to attract a diverse and affluent consumer base.

With approximately 500,000 square feet of retail space, the possibilities are endless. The stunning new transit terminal designed by Santiago Calatrava will feature multi-level retail opportunities with a full complement of restaurants and specialty stores.

Inviting street-level retail spaces will offer equally enviable opportunities for retailers who want to connect with the hundreds of thousands of residents, day workers, commuters and tourists who visit the area every day.

The World Trade Center retail complex will be a centerpiece for the entire Lower Manhattan area, a district that is experiencing rapid growth in office occupancy, residential population, commuter traffic and tourism.
