where in new york were the twin towers located?
in lower manhattan
in 1961, the same year that helmsley, wien, and malkin had purchased the empire state building, the port authority of new york and new jersey formally backed plans for a new world trade center in lower manhattan. the plan originally included 66-story twin towers with column-free open spaces. the empire state's owners and real estate speculators were worried that the twin towers' of office space would create a glut of rentable space in manhattan as well as take away the empire state building's profits from lessees. a revision in the world trade center's plan brought the twin towers to each or 110 stories, taller than the empire state. opponents of the new project included prominent real-estate developer robert tishman, as well as wien's committee for a reasonable world trade center. in response to wien's opposition, port authority executive director austin j. tobin said that wien was only opposing the project because it would overshadow his empire state building as the world's tallest building.
