More than five years after it was badly damaged in the terror attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, the Deutsche Bank building is finally coming down, Downtown Express reports.

Located on the south side of Ground Zero, it's been shrouded in black awaiting endless approvals concerning everything from environmental hazards to insurance disputes. More human remains from 9/11 were also found in the building last year.

The 41-story building is located at 130 Liberty St., map. When it's gone, the site will be converted into Tower 5 of the new World Trade Center, Liberty Park, an underground tour bus parking lot and a new Greek Orthodox Church to replace the one destroyed in the attacks.
