1 World Trade Center Open for Business

Now open...

1 World Trade Center

                

More than 13 years after a terrorist attack destroyed the twin towers — soaring symbols of New York City’s might, financially and structurally — the first employees of the first tenant in the building erected to take their place arrived on Monday for their first workday, nytimes.com reports.

“The building is open for business,” said Jordan Barowitz, an official of the Durst Organization, which developed the building, 1 World Trade Center, with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

“It’s a beautiful building, it’s a historic building, but it’s an office building and it’s open for business.”
