225 Liberty Street , formerly known as Two World Financial Center , is one of four towers that comprise the Brookfield Place complex in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan in New York City . Rising 44 floors and 645 feet (197 m) , it is situated between the Hudson River and the World Trade Center . Though the building has a nominal address on Liberty Street, its most prominent facade is on West Street between Liberty and Vesey Streets . The building opened in 1987 as part of the World Financial Center and was designed by Haines Lundberg Waehler and Cesar Pelli & Associates .
The building is home to Dotdash Meredith , BNY Mellon , Hudson's Bay Company , Commerzbank , Fiserv , Oppenheimer Funds, Inc. , State Street Corporation , McElroy, Deutsch, Virtusa, Mulvaney & Carpenter, LLP, Thacher Proffitt & Wood, LLP , and several divisions of France Telecom , among other companies. [2] It is an example of postmodern architecture , as designed by Cesar Pelli & Associates, and contains over 2,491,000 square feet (231,400 m 2 ) of rentable office area. It connects to the rest of the World Financial Center complex through a courtyard leading to the Winter Garden , a dramatic glass-and-steel public space with a 120-foot vaulted ceiling under which there is an assortment of trees and plants, including sixteen 12-meter palm trees from the Mojave Desert . [3]
The building was renamed from Two World Financial Center when the rest of the complex was renamed Brookfield Place in 2014. [4]
225 Liberty Street and its neighbors had been severely damaged by the falling debris when the World Trade Center towers collapsed due to the September 11 attacks . The building had to be closed for repairs until May 2002 as a result of damage sustained in the terrorist attacks. [5]
