Uber Technologies is closing in on a sublease for an additional 86,071 square feet at 3 World Trade Center. The deal would push its total footprint at the Lower Manhattan tower to 437,571 square feet, or nearly one-fifth of the building, according to Commercial Observer. It would also mark the ride-hailing company’s second expansion at the address in less than two years, although the agreement has not yet been signed.

Uber first took space at 175 Greenwich St. in 2019, signing for 307,390 square feet across floors 43 through 49, before it grew to 351,500 square feet in March 2025.

The 80-story, 2.8-million-square-foot tower is the second-tallest on the World Trade Center campus and includes more than 300,000 square feet of retail across five levels, two of which are below street level.

Silverstein Properties owns the building, which was designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners. It topped out in 2016 and later opened in 2018 after financing complications pushed back the original timeline. StubHub, Asana, and McKinsey & Company are among the other tenants.

The sub-landlord, lease term, and rental rate have not been disclosed, and it’s unclear who is handling brokerage for Uber. CBRE, which represents Silverstein in leasing at the building, did not comment, nor did representatives for Uber or Silverstein. Average listing rents in Manhattan were just over $67 per square foot in January — the highest in the Northeast — while vacancy fell more than 300 basis points in the last 12 months, according to Yardi Research data.
