Planned occupancy

After completion, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) plans to lease approximately 600,000 square feet (55,700 square meters) in 150 Greenwich for its new headquarterscite news | first=David W. | last=Dunlap | url=http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/07/09/answers-about-ground-zero-rebuilding/ | title=Answers About Ground Zero Rebuilding | work=New York Times | publisher=New York Times Co. | location=New York, New York | date=9 July 2008 | accessdate=2008-07-09] . PANYNJ was formerly headquartered in 1 World Trade Center before it was destroyed. The building will dedicate the space on the lower levels for use by retail businesses and also provide access to an underground "retail and transportation concourse" which will be connected to the PATH terminal at the site.The city of New York also plans to lease convert|600000|sqft|m2 in the completed building.

Planned layout

Above the ground portion of the building dedicated for retail use (which consists of the ground floor, the three floors immediately above the ground floor as well as the two floors below ground), the building will accommodate offices using two distinct floor shapes. From floors 7 through 44, the typical floor space will be 36,350 square feet (3,376 square meter) in the shape of a parallelogram (which is designed to echo the configuration of the site). From floors 46 through 60 the floor space will be 28,000 sq ft (2,600 square meter) in the shape of a trapezoid, shaped so that it opens toward the tip of Manhattan Island and also triangulated to face the nearby Freedom Tower. The tower will include five levels of mechanical floors.

Construction

Site preparation and excavation were carried out by the Port Authority and were completeted on January 12, 2008. Silverstein Properties has now taken over the 150 Greenwich Street site, and has begun construction on the tower. It is planned to be completed by 2011.
