AECOM’s Tishman Construction to manage construction of leading financial firm’s global headquarters in Lower Manhattan
Comprehensive repositioning and renovation to transform existing downtown campus
AECOM announced today that its Tishman Construction operation is serving as construction manager of the repositioning and renovation of Citi’s 388-390 Greenwich Street Re-Development.
The project will consolidate a substantial portion of Citi’s New York metropolitan-area population into a newly updated global headquarters at the company’s existing two-building complex in the Tribeca neighborhood of Lower Manhattan. Improvements at the 4-acre site may include exterior enhancements, additions to the plaza space, upgrades and end-of-life infrastructure replacements, as well as re-stacking and renovations of 2.34 million gross square feet of interior space, including a tier IV data center. Additionally, the project team is pursuing LEED Platinum certification.
To be conducted in three phases, the buildings on site will remain occupied throughout construction, allowing the client to successfully continue its operations uninterrupted.
“We are proud to partner with Citi on such a significant and impressive redevelopment project,” said Michael S. Burke, AECOM chairman and chief executive officer. “Combining our expertise in both building repositioning and mission critical facilities, we look forward to transforming the Greenwich Street offices into a world-class corporate headquarters.”
Currently, extensive preconstruction and planning are underway, with four to five years of construction expected to start this year.
