NEW YORK CITY — H&M, a global fashion retailer, is opening its first location in Lower Manhattan. Situated within Westfield World Trade Center, the 25,000-square-foot store is slated to open in spring 2016. This location will be the first store in the United States to apply for LEED certification. The interior of the store will operate on renewable power sources, use less energy than a conventional office building, utilize LED lighting and Energy Star equipment and implement a recycling program throughout the store. The Westfield World Trade Center location is H&M’s 18th store in New York City.
