New towers to rise from terror attack ashes

The World Trade Centre site will be transformed into the “most dynamic state-of-the-art business district anywhere on Earth” as New York City rises from the ashes of September 11, architects and city officials said.

Three buildings will rise next to the iconic Freedom Tower, along the site’s eastern edge, forming what will be the heart of a revitalised retail, transportation and office corridor which will overlook the permanent memorial site.
