We're 30! This year the World Trade Center celebrates its 30-year anniversary.

Founded in an era of abating international tensions, destined to improve relations among superpowers, the WTC has become a channel for today's most advanced ideas and technologies. The World Trade Center's appearance in Moscow has had a truly historic impact, marking the dawn of Russia's debut into the global economy as a fully equal partner.

In the years since, the WTC has been revitalized and rejuvenated, and has blossomed with new facilities. Today, it comprises a unified, multifaceted complex covering 270,000 square meters, uniting three high-rise office buildings, a conference center, the WTC Crowne Plaza Moscow hotel, the Mezhdunarodnaya-2 aparthotel, and multi-level parking facilities. It contains every business commodity: a business library, shops, restaurants, fitness centers, and banking, legal, insurance, and information and consulting services. The WTC's services even merited a "Silver Certificate" from the World Trade Centers Association. As before, the WTC is a "city within a city" – open, dynamic, and modern.

Thirty is an age when it is customary to review the past and lay new plans for the future. For the WTC, the immediate future holds the opening of a club building at the WTC Crowne Plaza Moscow and a new administrative building. We're growing!
