The first employees to call the new One World Trade Center site home arrived for work Monday morning.
About 175 employees of Condé Nast arrived for their first day of work in the glistening 104-story tower. Over the next several months, roughly 3,400 employees of the publishing giant will move to lower Manhattan from their old offices in Times Square.
The opening of the $3.9 billion skyscraper is an emotional milestone for New York City, 13 years after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks laid waste to the twin towers and left more than 2,700 people dead.
“One World Trade Center serves as a symbol of the resilience of the people of New York,” New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a statement. “Today, as we open its doors for the first time, we remember that strength and courage will always conquer weakness and cowardice, and that the American spirit, defended by proud New Yorkers, will not be defeated.”
Mary Ann Casey, a corporate paralegal, said she was emotional going back to work where the twin towers once stood; she worked there during the 1993 terrorist bombing that left six people dead and more than 1,000 injured.
“It’s bittersweet for me because of what happened here 13 years ago,” Ms. Casey said. “At the same time, we have to move on and it’s a special moment.”
