425 Park Avenue is an 80 storey office high-rise tower located along the northern extension of Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan amidst some of the most significant architectural landmarks of the 20th Century, including Mies van der Rohe’s Seagram Building, SOM’s Lever House and Gropius’ Pan Am tower.

​

The design captures and embodies the intensely collaborative culture of working in a high-speed global economy and a socially networked society through a dynamic and elegant architectural form. The building achieves a timeless elegance, yet is functionally flexible in its planning and financially efficient to construct.

​

Contemporary high-end office buildings today assume a demanding working and collaborative environment, but must also cater to the moments of pause that the occupiers must have. Attractive amenities like cafés, meeting rooms, lounges, and relaxing spaces enhance the working environment and are essential to the completeness and attractiveness of a workplace location today. In 425 Park Avenue, dedicated office floors are arranged into low, mid and high-rise tiers each complemented by amenity floors creating unique architectural ‘moments’ in the building. The structure diagrid steps back and further accentuates the tiered disposition of the low, mid and high-rise tiers culminating in a set of three fins that light up at New York’s skyline at night.
