Who’s Onboard at the World Trade Center Mall

Westfield1A New York Times article in May said that Westfield, the company leasing the 150 stores at the World Trade Center complex, “has declined to publicize any of its leases at ground zero […] so as not to appear crass and take attention from the solemnity of the National September 11 Memorial Museum.” Besides, the 9/11 cheese platter was already doing a heck of a job handling that. (Westfield subsequently dipped a toe in, telling the Wall Street Journal that 80% of the stores were leased or close to it.)

But brokers can’t help themselves, so there’s been lots of leaking. Without official confirmation, it’s impossible to know what’s definitely happening. Still, here’s what’s been whispered and semi-confirmed—and I’ll update this page whenever more info comes out.

If this is all hard to visualize, do revisit the floor plans posted a while back: Part 1 and Part 2. (Some are also below; all get bigger if you click on them.) And watch these rendering videos! They really help clarify how it’ll link together. Here’s one of Cortlandt Way, one of one level down in the main mall, and one of two levels down in the main mall.

••• Anthony Bourdain is working on a street-food hall, along the lines of Singapore’s hawker centers; he keeps quacking about it but won’t say where. The New York Post said it might be in 3WTC, and Eater said it would be.
