As we informed you a few days ago, today is the day selected by Apple to open the new store that the Cupertino-based company will open in the World Trade Center in New York, becoming the tenth store that the company owns in the city of skyscrapers. Apple currently has six stores in Manhattan, one in the borough of Queens, another in Staten Island and another that opened on July 30 in Brooklyn. The new store located in the World Trade Center will be the tenth of the company.
This new store is located in the Oculus transit terminal, at the bottom of the new World Trade Center designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. Although the scheduled date for the inauguration is today, some readers of the 9to5Mac publication yesterday could see how people were inside, surely employees, who were receiving the latest instructions before opening today.
This new store, despite following the same design as the latest stores that the company is opening around the world, has been designed by Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, which has also designed the Apple Store in Palo Alto and the Upper West Side, and the remodeling of the Apple Store on Fifth Avenue, the iconic store that every Apple device user is required to visit when traveling to New York.
At the moment the expansion plans in New York City have already been completed at least in the next few years, although even today a neighborhood, the Bronx, where no company store is open yet and it does not seem that there is any special interest in opening it, due to the insecurity that this neighborhood offers and where an Apple Store would be like a cake at the door of a school.
