Project overview
Two World Trade Center is the final major tower in the rebuilt World Trade Center complex. With American Express secured as anchor tenant, the project demands the highest standards of BIM coordination to deliver a supertall tower on one of the world's most significant sites.
What made this project complex
Building a supertall tower above existing infrastructure — including subway tunnels, the PATH station, and the memorial plaza — required precise coordination with as-built conditions. The structural system interfaces with pre-existing foundations and transit infrastructure.
How BIM coordination delivered
Existing infrastructure was modelled from as-built records and point cloud data. The new tower model was built above this baseline, with continuous clash detection ensuring zero conflicts with operational transit systems below. BIM 360 managed model exchanges between 12+ consultants.
Measurable outcomes
Coordinated new structure with existing transit infrastructure
Managed model exchanges between 12+ consultant teams
