2 World Trade Center is a skyscraper under construction as part of the rebuilt World Trade Center complex in Manhattan, New York City. It will replace the original 2 World Trade Center, which was completed as part of the first World Trade Center in 1973 and subsequently destroyed during the September 11 attacks in 2001, and it will occupy the position of the original 5 World Trade Center. The foundation work was completed in 2013. In February 2026, American Express announced it would develop and occupy a new headquarters tower on the site, with construction commencing in July and completion expected in 2031.
