Tishman Construction Corporation is a New York- based building construction company operating across the United States . Despite the similar name, the company is not identical to real estate developer Tishman Speyer Properties .
The company was founded in 1898. At the beginning, the family business accepted smaller orders. Most construction projects were confined to New York City, but expanded rapidly across the United States from the 1960s onwards. From the late 1960s onwards, Tishman built some very well-known structures: in 1969, the John Hancock Center was completed in Chicago , which was the second tallest building in the world at the time. In 1972 and 1973, the former towers of the World Trade Center opened in New York, which were built by Tishman. The old World Trade Center 7 , completed in 1987, was also built by a construction team from Tishman.
After 2000, Tishman accepted a number of construction contracts, particularly in New York: Examples include buildings such as the new 7 World Trade Center (2006), Four Times Square (2000), the Bank of America Tower (2009) and some buildings in the new World Trade Center Complex. The One World Trade Center in particular can be mentioned as another lead project . Tishman Construction has been part of the engineering service provider AECOM since 2010 .
