Members of The Berger Group’s World Trade Center Redevelopment project staff.

The redevelopment of the 16-acre World Trade Center site, encompassing over 10 million gross square feet of new facilities, represents one of the largest, and certainly the most visible and politically sensitive, construction programs in the United States. The $20 billion redevelopment program comprises more than two dozen individual projects with a diverse range of structures, including multi-story commercial and retail space, a major transportation hub, a memorial and museum, streets and infrastructure modifications, a performing arts center, below-grade vehicle security center, storage, parking and a central chiller plant. The World Trade Center redevelopment program is funded by both public and private sources and involves more than 25 federal, state, local and other interest groups and stakeholders.

The Louis Berger Group is working with the Port Authority to provide support services for this complex and challenging project. LBG and the Bloustein School have a long relationship; for over 10 years, the company has provided financial and other support to the Bloustein School and counts many Bloustein alumni among its ranks. The WTC redevelopment team is led by Berger’s project director Jim Bach MCRP ’75, and provides a wide spectrum of program management services for this iconic redevelopment, including comprehensive scheduling, cost estimating and cost engineering, customized management reports, project and program performance measures, and internal and external communication services for the program, ranging from website development to weekly project reports and fact sheets.
