British architect Norman Foster of Foster and Partners was hired to design the new 2 World Trade Center, on the northeastern part of the World Trade Center site at 200 Greenwich Street, in May 2006.&nbsp;

The foundation work was completed in 2013, though no construction has taken place since. The rest of the building, however, has yet to be built unless tenants for Tower 2 could be found.&nbsp;

On June 9, 2015, Wired magazine reported that Two World Trade Center would be redesigned by Bjarke Ingels of Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), and be built by 2021. The bottom half of the new design would have been leased out to 21st Century Fox and News Corp until they decided against leaving their current headquarters.&nbsp;

After the pulling out of News Corp and 21st Century Fox, the future of the site became uncertain, with calls for the tower's design to be reverted to its original incarnation. Renderings of a redesigned Foster and Partners design were published in early 2022.
