The basement concourse of the World Trade Center included The Mall at the World Trade Center, along with a PATH station. During the 1990s, approximately 500 companies had offices in the complex including many financial companies such as Morgan Stanley, Aon, Salomon Brothers and the Port Authority itself. It was not until the 1980s that the city's perilous financial state eased, after which an increasing number of private companies – mostly financial firms tied to Wall Street - became tenants. During the early years, various governmental organizations became key tenants of the World Trade Center towers including the State of New York. Initially conceived as a complex dedicated to companies and organizations directly taking part in "world trade", the South Tower, along with 1 World Trade Center (also known as the North Tower) at first failed to attract the expected clientele. The original Two World Trade Center had 95 express and local elevators. Each floor of the towers had 40,000 square feet (3,700 m 2) of space for occupancy.

All the remaining floors were free for open-plan offices. Of the 110 stories, eight were set aside for technical services in mechanical floors (floors 7/8, 41/42, 75/76, and 108/109), which were four two-floor areas that evenly spaced up the building.
This number was not surpassed until the advent of the Burj Khalifa, which opened in 2010.
Throughout its existence, however, the South Tower had more floors (at 110) than any other building. The World Trade Center towers held the height record only briefly the Sears Tower in Chicago, finished in May 1973, reached 1,450 feet (440 m) at the rooftop. The South Tower's rooftop observation deck was 1,362 ft (415 m) high and its indoor observation deck was 1,310 ft (400 m) high. When completed in 1973, 2 World Trade Center (the South Tower) became the second tallest building in the World – behind its twin, 1 World Trade Center.
