The WorldTradeCenter in New York City was a complex of seven buildings leased by Larry Silverstein from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey around a central plaza, near the south end of Manhattan in the downtown financial district.
That same source claims that when the WorldTradeCenter was destroyed, the amount of gold "far exceed[ed] the 1993 levels." The gold was finally recovered in its entirety in late 2001.
The WorldTradeCenter is slated to be rebuilt as a new mixed-use complex of buildings called Memory Foundations, including the 1776 ft (541 m) Freedom Tower.
WorldTradeCenter, complex of seven commercial buildings in New York City, demolished by a terrorist attack on September 11, 2001.
The best-known buildings of the WorldTradeCenter were twin skyscrapers designed by American architect Minoru Yamasaki with the firm Emery Roth and Sons.
The towers briefly ranked as the world’s tallest buildings, but they were surpassed in 1974 by the Sears Tower in Chicago, Illinois, which has a height of 442 m (1,450 ft).
