Along with 2 and 5 WTC, Construction of the Calatrava-design Church at the World Trade Center has been halted since December, making a total of three sites in the development that are on hold seventeen years after 9/11. Construction of the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church began after its base, the World Trade Vehicle Security Center was completed in early 2016. The church will replace the original Greek Orthodox Church that was completely destroyed by falling debris when the south tower collapsed on 9/11. The new church is designed by Santiago #Calatrava, who designed the #Oculus transportation hub of the World Trade Center and will similarly be encased in white #Pentelic marble, the same marble used in the #Parthenon, topped with a cross on top of the domed structure. In December 2017, construction stopped after the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America failed to pay @Skanska, the project’s contractor, on top of an alleged misappropriation of funds intended to complete the church. As of April 2018, all work on the project halted with no completion date in sight.
