The Norfolk World Trade Center is an office building in Norfolk, Virginia, affiliated with the World Trade Centers Association.
The building is located near the waterfront of downtown Norfolk. It is located next to the old Norfolk City Hall, and nearby Nauticus and the USS Wisconsin. The downtown Norfolk station for The Tide light rail is also nearby.[1][2]
Outside the building is a small garden, its centerpiece being Bernar Venet's sculpture Undetermined Line.[1]
History
Construction on the building began in the early 1980s, being completed in 1983. The building cost $30 million to build. It was designed by the Peruvian-American architect Bruce Graham.[3][1]
In 2008, the building underwent a $2.5-million renovation, due to leakage from the exterior walls and atrium. The task was undertaken by Simpson Gumpertz & Heger (SGH).[4]
In December 2021, the building was sold to WTC Holdings LLC for $69 million.[5]
