This says nothing about the third heaven being a physical place. We do have a tendency to try to visualize it in our minds eye like we are visualizing the physical within the symbolic description, but nothing of God and His Spiritual realm are of physical substance, but only Spiritual within the symbolism of the physical description.
Just like all the revelations, which means the revealing, John is given visions by the angel Jesus sent to speak to John while he was imprisoned on the isle of Patmos, Rev Chapter 1.
What is meant by the New Jerusalem being ushered down by God is that after everything has been fulfilled after Christ returns, this present heaven (atmosphere) and earth will pass away and all things made new again as at that time even Jerusalem will be made new again and IMO be like the paradise of Garden of Eden. It's not like God has carpenters up there building a whole material city.
No one knows what the third heaven could look like as no one here on earth, dead or alive, has ever entered into it. John 3:13.
