American Express to build 55-floor tower at World Trade Center site

"Spanning nearly two million square feet across 55 floors, the new American Express building will have capacity to host up to 10,000 colleagues across flexible and modern workspaces designed to inspire collaboration and creativity. It will feature more than an acre of outdoor space with several greenery-filled terraces and gardens and sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline."

"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. This project represents thousands of good, union jobs that sustain families and strengthen our communities."

"When we invest in New York, we must ensure that investment flows to working people - to the carpenters, electricians, and laborers who quite literally build this city. That's how we grow our skyline and our economy at the same time: by putting working New Yorkers first."
