2 WTC Construction
Follow the progress of 2 World Trade Center, the final commercial tower in the redevelopment of the World Trade Center campus. This page will be updated regularly with key milestones, construction activity, and project news.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
2 World Trade Center is the final commercial tower planned for the World Trade Center campus in Lower Manhattan. Located at 200 Greenwich Street, the building will complete the site’s master plan and further strengthen the campus as a global destination for business, culture, and community.
Initial work on the site began in 2008, with below-grade construction and foundations completed in the early 2010s. In 2026, it was announced that American Express will build the project as it enters a new phase with vertical construction beginning.
Once complete, the tower is expected to rise to be 2 million square feet across 55 floors, and will include modern office space, retail, and amenities that connect seamlessly with the surrounding campus, including the Oculus Transportation Hub.
