"Rising 373 meters at 200 Greenwich Street, the 55-story skyscraper will occupy a central position within the site, directly across from Santiago Calatrava's Oculus transportation hub and adjacent to the Perelman Performing Arts Center, completing the commercial edge of the master plan. The tower is set to become the new global headquarters of American Express, which will serve as the building's sole owner and occupant."
"The updated design presents a stepped composition of slender volumes that rise from a rectilinear base, articulated by a sequence of landscaped terraces and green roofs. More than one acre of outdoor space is distributed throughout the building in the form of planted terraces and intermediary amenity levels, offering panoramic views of Manhattan and the Hudson River."
"Planned as a fully electric building, the project will incorporate advanced smart-building technologies and energy-efficient systems, and is expected to pursue LEED certification."
