New York, NY (September 10, 2025) – The Durst Organization and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey today announced that LMAX Group, a leading independent operator of execution venues for FX and digital assets trading globally, has expanded to 10,847 square feet on the 76th floor of One World Trade Center. This marks the second time the global fintech leader has grown at the iconic tower, reflecting the building’s strong appeal to financial and technology firms.

"The continued expansion of LMAX Group at One World Trade Center underscores the building's reputation as a premier destination for innovative, growing companies that want to offer their employees a top-tier office with amenities, immediate access to public transit, and incredible views,” said Jody Durst, President of The Durst Organization.

“We’re pleased to see the LMAX Group continuing the trend of forward-thinking companies doubling down on the vibrancy of the World Trade Center campus,” said Port Authority Executive Director Rick Cotton. “With unmatched transit access, diverse shopping and dining, and world-class arts and cultural programming, the World Trade Center has emerged as both an unparalleled hub for business and a premier regional destination.”

“One World Trade Center, and the entire World Trade Center campus, stands as a powerful testament to our region’s resilience, renewal, and innovation,” said Port Authority Chairman Kevin O’Toole. “The LMAX Group’s expanded commitment makes clear that for businesses seeking a dynamic, distinguished and connected place to do their work, there is no better choice than the World Trade Center.”

James Lambley, Group Head of Property & Workplace at LMAX Group, commented, “The expansion by LMAX Group in One World Trade Center represents a pivotal moment in our commitment to the US market. This iconic location serves as the perfect hub for our next phase of growth, positioning us at the heart of global finance to better serve our clients and drive innovation in market infrastructure and trading. The World Trade Center embodies resilience, renewal, and forward momentum—values that align perfectly with our corporate vision. This investment underscores our long-term dedication to the US market and our excitement about the transformative opportunities that lie ahead.”

Built by The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and The Durst Organization in a public-private partnership, One World Trade Center is the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere and is 95% leased.

Sitting atop the building, the Penthouse floors feature unmatched, panoramic 360-degree views of New York City, the harbor, and the Hudson and East Rivers.

One World Trade Center brings together convenience, ample amenities, and a vibrant neighborhood that inspires innovation, productivity, and success. The 25,000-square-foot Well& by Durst amenity space on the 64th Floor Sky Lobby provides tenants with a space that invigorates, inspires, and fosters connections. Well& by Durst features freshly prepared seasonal meals, exclusive curated events, state-of-the-art meeting, event, and lounge spaces.
