STAMFORD, CT-In response to the terrorist attack last week in New York City, American Express Company has signed a lease with The Landis Group for approximately 175,000 sf of space at 400 Atlantic St., here.

American Express, which reports that it has leased space for its interim corporate headquarters in Jersey City as well as office space in Parsippany and Short Hills, N.J., is shifting its New York City personnel from operations housed at the World Financial Center. According to Molly Faust, a spokesperson for American Express, the company occupied approximately one million sf at the 3 World Financial Center complex where some 3,000 workers were stationed.

Faust adds that an engineer has visited the World Financial Center site since the terrorist attack last week and termed it “structurally sound.” However, she relates the company plans to eventually have a team of engineers do a painstaking look at the building. The 3 World Financial Center building stands nearby “ground zero” where the World Trade Center towers stood until last Tuesday. “It will take us at least a couple of months before we could go back there,” she says.
