    Interesting. I remember watching the Twin Tower fall on 9/11. I remember seeing these skyscrapers in the foreground of many bits of footage. I remember thinking that the tower at 200 Vesey Street looked a lot like 'One Canada Square' (the first skyscraper in the docklands area of London) and yes it turns out that One Canada Sq. was designed by the same firm of architects that designed Brookfield Place. It's a small world.

      Very tragic day. Many of us remember what we were doing on September 11, 2001. The Winter Garden reopened its doors a year later. Yes indeed. One Canadian Square looks a lot like 200 Vessey Street. It was also originally developed by Olympia and York Company, the same one that promoted Brookfield Place (World Financial Center) in New York City! Yes, it's a small world.
      One Canadian Square, the tallest building in the United Kingdom for 21 years (1991 → 2012), until Shard's completion.
      Thank you for your comment!

    I always refer it to the World Financial Centre.

      My too. The name changed between 2012 and 2014. The complex had previously been purchased by Brookfield Asset Management, a Toronto-based company. Thank you for comment!
