This is a post-9/11 design that not only accommodates the latest security requirements but also creates an enjoyable and humane experience for passengers.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Turner provided construction management services for this Citigroup office building that consolidates its central New York Business Units. The facility sits across the street from One Court Square, the 48-story tower that Citigroup along with Turner built in 1989. The first phase of the project consisted of a 15-story mid-rise office tower of approximately 490,000 s.f. which forms a podium above which the Phase 2 tower rises. A single basement level will houses all the major mechanical equipment as well as building management/operations spaces.
Amenities include a training center and 300-person auditorium on the second and third floor levels, mail and messenger center, 120-person dining facility with full-service kitchen and a centralized CER/Data Center. The project has been identified as a LEED “Silver” compliant building.
In addition to constructing Phase 1, Citigroup funded an upgrade of the local subway connection to accommodate the large influx of passengers to the area created by this project. The subway station improvements, outside the building property line (just south of Court Square), include an enclosed connection of the above grade (No. 7) subway line and the below grade (G) subway line. This enclosure enables passengers to walk underground between those lines, rather than having to walk outside as previously necessary.
