Perelman Performing Arts Center Opens, Designed by REX with a glowing marble façade; opened at the World Trade Center site as a major venue for theater, music, and civic dialogue

After an earlier design by Frank Gehry was rejected, new architects (REX and Davis Brody Bond) were hired and began designing the Performing Arts Center at the World Trade Center.

A multi-space performing arts center at the northeast corner of the World Trade Center complex in Manhattan, New York City. The Performing Arts Center is located at the intersection of Vesey, Fulton, and Greenwich Streets in Lower Manhattan. The building is named for billionaire Ronald Perelman, who donated $75 million to its construction.Gehry Partners LLP and Snøhetta were selected originally, but there was a lot of delay. Joshua Ramus and Davis Brody Bond were eventually selected as final architects in 2015.
