Twin Towers II ( also known as Twin Towers 2 , New Twin Towers , Trump Twin Towers and World Trade Center Phoenix ) was a proposed twin-towered skyscraper complex which would have been located at the World Trade Center site in Manhattan , New York City . The proposed complex would have replaced the former Twin Towers of the World Trade Center destroyed in the September 11 attacks , restoring the skyline of the city to its former state . The main design for the proposed complex would feature new landmark twin towers , nearly identical to the originals designed by Minoru Yamasaki , though it would feature 115 stories — 5 floors taller than the originals , among other differences . Beside the towers , an above-ground memorial would have occupied the footprints of the original towers . The new site would also have featured three 12-story buildings , replacing the original 3 , 4 and 5 World Trade Center . The complex was designed and developed by American architect Herbert Belton and American engineer Kenneth Gardner , and sponsored by Donald Trump
