Construction Update: 270 Park Avenue
Superstructure is close to topping out on the crown at office tower 270 Park Avenue, the future headquarters of JPMorgan Chase in Midtown East. Designed by Foster + Partners, the supertall tower will rise to 1,388 feet and will offer 2.5 million square feet of office space for 15,000 employees. The form of the tower gradually steps back at the east and west facades and tapers on all four sides. At the ground floor, diagonal columns rise up to support the large trading room floors above. Facade installation is also ongoing, with curtain panels surpassing the tower’s halfway mark.
Looking up at the south facade.
Architects: Foster + Partners with Adamson Associates; Client: JPMorgan Chase; Structural Engineer: Severud Associates; Developer: Tishman Speyer; Program: Office; Location: Midtown East, New York, NY; Completion: 2025.
