when did they start building the new world trade center?
april 27 , 2006
the construction of one world trade center started on april 27, 2006. lack of financing had prevented construction from commencing earlier. the proceeds of the insurance policies arising from the destruction of the previous buildings were insufficient to cover the cost of rebuilding all the insured buildings. the first rebuilt building in the world trade center complex, 7 world trade center, reopened on may 23, 2006, and by the end of september 2011, was fully leased. the second building, 4 world trade center, reopened on november 13, 2013. this was followed by one world trade center on november 3, 2014. 3 world trade center opened on june 11, 2018, while 2 world trade center has yet to be completed, having been delayed indefinitely because of the loss of a prospective anchor tenant.
