The problem is that the actual visible building has only 7 visible floors starting at the Plaza Level, but there is an additional lower level on the Concourse Level. While this section is at the same level as the Mall at the World Trade Center, it isn't actually connected to the mall in any way, and instead originally had a direct entrance/exit on Vesey St., as can be seen in these images:
You can see the seven upper floors, and the lower street level doors of 6 WTC. |
Ok, but I still don't understand why that floor on the concourse level counts as a story for that building, while the other buildings in the original complex with floors on the concourse level don't count as a story.
Here's a link to a Wikipedia page that shows the tenants for the North Tower (building 1):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...d_Trade_Center
The page doesn't count the concourse level (which is on street level and is below the plaza level and below the North Tower's floors) as a floor. But if it was counted as a floor, wouldn't that actually make the Twin Towers both 111 stories tall instead of 110 stories?
Also here's a link to a Wikipedia page that shows the tenants for the original 5 WTC:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5_World_Trade_Center
The page says that the building has 9 stories but doesn't include the concourse level (which is below the floors). But wouldn't 5 WTC actually be 10 stories tall because of the concourse level?
Also here's a link to a Emporis page about 3 WTC (the Marriot Hotel):
https://www.emporis.com/buildings/11...rk-city-ny-usa
Most sources say that 3 WTC had 22 stories, but Emporis says that 3 WTC had 22 stories from plaza level and had 2 more stories on the concourse level. So according to Emporis, 3 WTC actually had 24 stories.
So why does a floor on the concourse level for 6 WTC count as a story for that building, but not for the other buildings of the original complex?
