RFP Calls for Office or MXU at 5 World Trade Site
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation have issued a long-delayed request for proposals to develop World Trade Center Site 5. The site, which formerly contained Deutsche Bank’s New York headquarters, could support a 1.3-million-square-foot tower up to 900 feet tall.
“Nearly 18 years ago, New Yorkers vowed to rebuild Lower Manhattan stronger than ever, and with the request for proposals now open for World Trade Center Site 5, we are continuing to make good on that promise,” said Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
The General Project Plan for the World Trade Center redevelopment originally called for Site 5 to contain an office tower. However, the RFP now calls for either commercial or mixed-use, with the stipulation that any residential use for the site would need to include an affordable housing component.
Deadline for responding to the Site 5 RFP is Sept. 20.
