JT Magen, Gensler Build Out New Freshfields Space at 3 World Trade Center

National construction firm JT Magen and architecture and design firm Gensler have completed the fit-out of a new 180,000-square-foot office space for Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer across four floors at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s 3 World Trade Center. The law firm relocated to Lower Manhattan from 601 Lexington Ave.  

JT Magen served as construction manager for the project, overseeing all aspects of the project from budgeting, scheduling, logistics, procurement of materials, and management of subcontractors through the final handover. Gensler served as the designer for the interior space.

“Over the past few years, law firms have been seeking more free-flowing layouts and amenity areas,” said Jay Rimatzki, a senior project manager at JT Magen who oversaw the construction management. “The next generation of office space for the legal field is not decked out with private offices, leather chairs and heavy wood accents.”
