I love the openness of the 3 and 4 WTC lobbies. I wish they’d at least take those damn blast walls down around the N/S entrances at 1 WTC and let as much light in as possible. Normal traffic can’t get anywhere near it anyway.

The brightness reminds me of the original lobbies in both WTC1 and 2. The sun always flooded the original lobbied through the massive glass windows.

What is going on with the retail space on the first three floors of the tower? The escalator looks ready for use, but the retail space is all blocked out

Just hasn’t been rented out still, a large part of the first floor is also still unrented and it’s the only level that has tenants. 4 WTC was pretty successful with leasing out retail tenants, but I don’t know what happened with 3 WTC’s case.

Apparently they’re occupying a floor previously occupied by [better.com](http://better.com) which had only previously signed a lease back in 2019

Well it would seem another business will be occupying part of the retail space finally

I wish the building was more successful in filling up the above ground retail. Hopefully it’s not too long before the building looks like this

Finally some good news for the mostly empty retail podium at 3 WTC. A new restaurant opening next year and it looks like it will be nice. Facing Church and Cortlandt. This was mentioned here previously but now we have official renders. I’m digging the outdoor part.

I’ve been to that chain a few times. So tasty but even reading the name of the restaurant gives me the meat sweats.

I’ve only been once in Philly, but I was surprised how good it was. Should be interesting seeing retail above ground at the WTC…other than 4 WTC
