At the current location of the World Trade Center site , Greenwich Street once ran through a neighborhood called Radio Row , which specialized in selling radio parts . The neighborhood was demolished in 1962 , when the area was condemned to make way for the construction of the World Trade Center . After the World Trade Center was destroyed in the September 11 attacks , the public supported rebuilding a street grid through the World Trade Center site . It was ultimately decided to rebuild Cortlandt , Fulton , and Greenwich Streets , which had been destroyed during the original World Trade Center 's construction
