"The completion of the final commercial tower at the World Trade Center is more than an investment - it's a testament to the power of union labor and the dignity of work. The plan is expected to create more than 2,000 union construction jobs and 3,200 total jobs citywide over the life of the project, with officials estimating the development will generate about $5.9 billion for New York City's economy and $6.3 billion statewide."
"Our new headquarters will be more than just a building. It will be a place for our colleagues to feel energized, inspired, and proud - a home for innovation, interaction, and growth. For American Express, the move represents both a forward-looking investment and a nod to its deep local roots, where it has operated for nearly two centuries."
"The evidence keeps building: There is no better state than New York to do business. The project is set to be built on Port Authority-owned land, with construction starting as soon as this spring and finishing in 2031, with the tower designed to hold up to 10,000 employees in flexible, modern workspaces."
New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced that American Express will construct its new global headquarters at 2 World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan, completing the final commercial tower at the World Trade Center campus. The 55-story skyscraper will span nearly two million square feet at 200 Greenwich Street. Construction begins spring 2024 and concludes in 2031. The project is expected to create over 2,000 union construction jobs and 3,200 total jobs citywide, generating approximately $5.9 billion for New York City's economy and $6.3 billion statewide. American Express CEO Stephen J. Squeri emphasized the company's commitment to Lower Manhattan, where it has operated for nearly two centuries, describing the new headquarters as a space designed to energize and inspire employees.
