Is This the End of the World Financial Center as We Know It?
First Phase of Brookfield's Quarter-Billion-Dollar WFC Renovation to Begin in November
Quote:
Come November, all the stores and restaurants in the hallway that connects the Liberty Street entrance of Two World Financial Center (WFC) to the Winter Garden will close. The same fate awaits all the establishments in the second-floor corridor above. Brookfield Properties is set to begin its $250-million renovation of the World Financial Center, beginning with the construction of a new second-floor dining terrace facing the Esplanade, along with a food marketplace where the first-floor corridor is now. The work is scheduled to finish in spring, 2013. Between now and the project's completion, Brookfield anticipate occasional closures of the first-floor hallway, as well as the elevators/escalators that provide access to the second floor.
As of September 28, Godiva, Ciao Bella Gelato and Gap have closed, and Hallmark has relocated to the Mezzanine Level (next to Ann Taylor).
Brookfield plans to begin a second phase of this project, which will entail substantial renovation of the Winter Garden and other retail areas of the WFC, next spring. The Winter Garden remodeling is expected to be complete by summer, 2013, while the retail renovation is targeted for completion by fall, 2014.
