Two years into a quest for a new or renovated headquarters, American Express is talking to Larry Silverstein about building a long-awaited skyscraper at 2 World Trade Center.

The financial services firm is in an exclusive negotiating period with Silverstein and could decide as soon as this month whether to move forward with the 93-year-old developer. Silverstein has been trying for most of this century to secure an anchor tenant, which he needs to get a loan to build the tower.
