World Trade Center’s Greek Orthodox Church Rising In Liberty Park, Financial District

Last year, ground was broken and new renderings were released for the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church planned at the also-under-construction Liberty Park, an elevated lot to the south of the World Trade Center, in the Financial District. The New York Times now reports the drum-shaped structure is rising and will be constructed with “white Pantelic marble, from the same vein in Greece that was quarried to construct the Parthenon.” Santiago Calatrava is designing, and completion of the sanctuary and park is expected in 2017.

In May of 2014, YIMBY revealed renderings of Fortis Property Group’s residential tower at 151 Maiden Lane, in the Financial District, and we brought you additional images of the project that October. At the time, the tower was planned to be 51 stories tall, but now the structure is expected to rise 60 stories and 670 feet in height, according to Curbed. Dubbed One Seaport, the project will contain 80 condos, featuring a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom units, which are being designed by S. Russel Groves. Sales are expected to launch in the fall. In July, YIMBY revealed the 33-story, 271-key  hotel planned next door.
