The first skyscraper at lower Manhattan’s World Trade Center is set to open with two days of ceremonies to mark the renewal of the area after its destruction by terrorists. When the fanfare subsides, the task will be filling the 40 percent of the tower that’s empty.

“We feel a real sense of accomplishment for having made it to this place,” said Janno Lieber, president of the company that built the 72-story 4 World Trade Center, opening tomorrow. It means the site is “really becoming part of New York again.”
