Always felt that building was underrated. Should have been in more movies.

“Office buildings are our factories – whether for tech, creative or traditional industries we must continue to grow our modern factories to create new jobs,” said United States Senator Chuck Schumer.
Yesterday, construction applications were filed to convert the iconic Crown Building at 730 Fifth Avenue between West 56th and 57th Streets in Midtown. As the preeminent pre-war gem of the highly coveted Plaza District, the upper floors of the 390,000-square-foot commercial tower were acquired by Michael Shvo and Russian billionaire Vladislav Doronin of Aman Resorts for $500 million in 2015. The duo purchased the building from Jeff Sutton’s Wharton Properties and General Growth Properties, who had reportedly paid $1.775 billion for the entire building earlier that year.

Some classics here. Seems like all the best are being converted.
