"Building 2 World Trade Center will bring another iconic skyscraper to Lower Manhattan, create thousands of good-paying union jobs and provide billions in economic benefits to New Yorkers. American Express CEO Stephen Squeri called the skyscraper an investment in our company's future, our colleagues and the Lower Manhattan community, where the credit card giant has been based for nearly 200 years."
"The 2 World Trade Center building will round out the long, tortuous redevelopment of the original 16-acre trade center property. The trade center was decimated when al-Qaida hijackers crashed jets into its twin towers, part of a coordinated attack that also sent planes into the Pentagon and a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Nearly 3,000 people were killed, mainly at the trade center."
The final office tower at the World Trade Center site will be constructed as American Express's new headquarters, with construction beginning in spring 2025. This project marks a significant milestone in the nearly 25-year redevelopment of the 16-acre property destroyed in the September 11 attacks. Governor Kathy Hochul and American Express CEO Stephen Squeri announced the project, emphasizing its role in New York's economic vitality and job creation. The building will generate thousands of union jobs and billions in economic benefits. American Express, headquartered in Lower Manhattan for nearly 200 years, views this as an investment in its future and the community. The announcement demonstrates New York's continued appeal as a business hub amid competition from other states.
