6 World Trade Center
Le Six World Trade Center (abrégé en 6 WTC) est un petit immeuble américain de 8 étages (pour environ 49,953 m2), situé dans le sud de Manhattan à New York, abritant plusieurs services détachés du gouvernement fédéral des États-Unis. Sa construction est achevée en 1975. Il est gravement endommagé lors des attentats du 11 septembre 2001, du fait de l'effondrement du 1 World Trade Center et du 2 World Trade Center. Le bâtiment est démoli afin de faire de la place au nouveau complexe bâti dans les années 2000 et 2010. Les débris de la tour Nord recouvrent la zone autour du 6 WTC, creusant un profond cratère dans le sous-sol du bâtiment. La société AMEC se charge de la démolition durant laquelle la structure du bâtiment est affaiblie puis mise à terre à l'aide de câbles.

4 World Trade Center (1975–2001)
The original 4 World Trade Center (4 WTC), also known as the Southeast Plaza Building, was a nine-story, 118 ft (36 m)-tall building at the southeast corner of the World Trade Center complex in Lower Manhattan, New York City.

Its site is now the location of 3 World Trade Center and the new 4 World Trade Center.

5 World Trade Center
5 World Trade Center (5 WTC; also referred to as 130 Liberty Street) is a planned skyscraper at the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan, New York City. The site is across Liberty Street, to the south of the main 16-acre (6.5 ha) World Trade Center site. In February 2021, it was announced the new 5 World Trade Center will be developed in a joint venture between Silverstein Properties and Brookfield Properties. The proposed building shares its name with the original 5 World Trade Center, which was heavily damaged as a result of the collapse of the North Tower during the September 11 attacks and was later demolished.
In June 2007, JPMorgan Chase announced plans to develop the building as the headquarters of its investment division, J.P. Morgan & Co. However, after JPMorgan Chase's acquisition of Bear Stearns in March 2008, the company relocated J.P. Morgan to 383 Madison Avenue. In June 2019, the Port Authority and Lower Manhattan Development Corporation agreed to a joint request for proposal (RFP) for the site.
As of February 2021, a new design has been announced for the new 5 World Trade Center to be developed by Silverstein Properties and Brookfield Properties. The new design calls for a 1,560,000-square-foot (145,000 m2), 910-foot-tall (280 m) mixed-use tower.

The Sphere
The Sphere (officially Große Kugelkaryatide N.Y., also known as Sphere at Plaza Fountain, WTC Sphere or Koenig Sphere) is a monumental cast bronze sculpture by German artist Fritz Koenig.
The world's largest bronze sculpture of modern times stood between the Twin Towers on the Austin J. Tobin Plaza of the World Trade Center in New York City from 1972 until the September 11 attacks. The work, weighing more than 20 tons, was the only remaining work of art to be recovered largely intact from the ruins of the collapsed Twin Towers. After being dismantled and stored near a hangar at John F. Kennedy International Airport, the sculpture was the subject of the 2001 documentary Koenig's Sphere. Since then, the bronze sphere has become a memorial for the attacks.
The sculpture was installed in Battery Park between 2002 and 2017, when the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey moved it to Liberty Park, overlooking the September 11 Memorial and its original location. The sculpture, rededicated at its permanent location on August 16, 2017, has been kept in the badly damaged condition it was found in after the September 11 attacks.
