A Danish architect on Tuesday revealed the design for the fourth and final tower at the World Trade Center.

Architect Bjarke Ingels says 2 World Trade Center will be 80 stories and appear as seven separate boxes stacked together. At 1,330 feet, it will be shorter than One World Trade Center but will become the third tallest building in New York City.

The tower, scheduled to open in 2020, will unite the streetscapes of Tribeca with the towers downtown. It will appear from Tribeca as a vertical village of singular buildings on top of each other. From the trade center, the design will appear unified.
