Slated to open in the first quarter of 2017, One World Commons is expected to serve as a corporate and social hub that will help build a community within the tower and inspire cross-collaboration among the industry types housed at the iconic property.

“One World Commons further enhances the program of world-class amenities One World Trade Center offers,” says Jody Durst, president, The Durst Organization. “Modern tenants want modern amenities and we are proud of these new lifestyle offerings.”

“One World Trade Center is already a special address, but now its tenants can point to One World Commons as yet another perk/benefit that makes it the world's pre-eminent office building,” declares Beth Wolfowitz, Port Authority director of leasing and development for the World Trade Center Redevelopment Dept. “Existing and prospective tenants have said that being able to share the amenities package at One World Commons with their employees and guests was an important differentiator in selecting this property.”

Adds the building's leasing professional Tara Stacom, executive vice chairman at Cushman & Wakefield, “One World Common elevates One World Trade Center as being in a class by itself. The building continues to redefine the office experience, setting the standards globally for design, efficiency, and lifestyle amenities.”

Now more than 70% leased, the three-million-square-foot office tower includes more than 25 tenants representing such business sectors as media, technology, financial services, advertising, and biotechnology.

One World Trade Center is anchored by global publishing firm Condé Nast and is directly connected to the World Trade Center transit hub, which provides access to 11 NYC subway lines, PATH trains and Westfield World Trade Center's 450,000 square feet of new retail shops, restaurants and the entrance to One World Observatory.

In addition, the West Concourse pedestrian walkway connects the World Trade Center campus to Brookfield Place, Battery Park City and Hudson River ferries.
