World Trade Center

The World trade center never really became what its name advertised and over time anticipation and actuality moved apart. For a decade or two the World Trade center courted maritime, trade related businesses without ever becoming the single hub. New York state and the PA rented very substantial amounts of space but neither was remotely trading organizations. In the 1980s, at last Word Trade Center rents began to move from below – market to equal to or above – market rates. Smaller tenants left the World Trade Center and banks, brokerage houses, insurance companies and law firms moved in and thereby reflecting a wide – ranging mix with fewer trade companies.
With the Twin Towers unrivalled as the defining feature of the Manhattan skyline and the busy vibrant five –acre Plaza between the towers well established as a popular meeting place, the World trade Center began to replace Wall Street as the biggest tourist magnet in the Lower Manhattan. Differentiations of roles and activities further blurred during the 1990s. The establishment of the Commodities Exchange at World Trade Center and construction of the privately funded World Financial Center, located at the west of World trade center, further expanded the old Financial District. The World Trade center typified the financial district and was the beating heart. Visitors and Tourists were attracted towards it during summer and winter alike. It was a leisurely stroll down to through the elegant crystal palace of the Winter Garden when you go across the covered bridge connecting the World Trade Center, the twin towers, to the World Financial Center and it ended on the Hudson river waterfront and the parks, the handsome esplanade that added amenity and elegance to the new apartment blocks of battery Park City.
