Wilgus, William J.,
William J. Wilgus
William J. Wilgus
(1865–1949) was an American
civil engineer
. In 1902 he was responsible for the
design and construction
of
New York City
's
Grand Central Terminal
. Wilgus coined the term "taking wealth from the air" from his idea to lease the area above the
Park Avenue Tunnel
in order to help finance the station. This is based on the legal concept known as
air rights
. He is also credited with the double-stacked track design of the station, that greatly increased its capacity. During the
First World War
, Wilgus served as the
American Expeditionary Force
chief of logistics and rail transport.
