3 World Trade Center was built near the site of the original 3 World Trade Center, which was destroyed during the 9/11 attacks in 2001. The new skyscraper was intended to be 1,240 feet tall, but its height was scaled back and construction paused when no anchor tenant came forward. Building eventually resumed and in 2016 a two-ton bucket of concrete was signed by workers and executives in a topping out ceremony. The building officially opened in June 2018.
