Floors 4 through 9 suffered partial collapse and/or fire damage. Floors 1-3 were undamaged. Some of the collapse was due to impact from steel and debris from World Trade Center 1 (North Tower). Other collapsed sections were due to fire damage. Portions of internal collapse and burnout were found on upper floors, mainly floors 6-8. The exterior facade suffered severe fire damage. The upper floors (5-9) were on fire after the second tower collapse.

Structural Analysis

"The (FEMA/ASCE Building Performance Study Team) team found that some connections between the structural steel beams failed in the fire. This was most apparent in the collapse of World Trade Center Building 5, where the fireproofing did not protect the connections, causing the structure to fail."[1]


Future of Tower Five

Negotiations over the World Trade Center site concluded in April 2006 with private developer Larry Silverstein yielding his right to develop on the site designated for Tower Five to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey in exchange for assistance in financing Towers Two, Three, and Four.


Tower Five is expected to be redesigned for residential or mixed use and offered to another private developer; there is no estimated date for construction to commence on the site, 130 Liberty St, which is located where the old Deutsche Bank Building is now. JPMorgan Chase has expressed interest in again leasing space.[1] There is a limit of 900 feet, and final building may be up to 1.5 million square feet.[2].
