Designs have been revealed for 350 Park Avenue, a 62-story and 1.5 million square-foot (139,354 square-meters) office tower on New York’s world-famous boulevard. The global investment firm Citadel and leading market maker Citadel Securities will serve as the anchor tenants, occupying at least 850,000 square-feet (78,967 square-meters) of the building.

...350 Park Avenue will be part of a rich urban tapestry, standing alongside Modernist icons such as the Seagram Building and Lever House, Art Deco landmarks such as the Waldorf Astoria and the General Electric Building, and examples of historic architecture including the Racquet and Tennis Club (R&T) and St Bartholomew’s Church. The tower’s stepped form responds to the architectural language of Midtown Manhattan. On the eastern side of the building, every setback features a landscaped terrace that provides tenants with direct connections to the outdoors and unparalleled views towards Park Avenue and the East River
An offset core creates space for the generous green terraces and a large public plaza at the tower’s base. Activated by retail, cafes and restaurants, the landscaped plaza plugs into the existing pedestrian network and provides direct access to the ground-level lobby. Set back from the sidewalk, a soaring glass entranceway is designed to maximise the amount of daylight entering the lobby from Park Avenue.
Larger floorplates at the base of the tower gradually decrease in size as people travel up the building. Ceiling heights reach 15 feet (4.5 meters) on the trading floors and 11 feet (3.3 meters) on typical office floors, with floor-to-ceiling glazing that allows daylight deep into the plan and optimises views. Four double-height super floors connect with the terraces and feature a diverse range of town hall spaces, workspaces, and wellness areas. A split lobby allows the building to be subdivided and ensures long-term flexibility.
The four corners of the floorplate are cantilevered and column-free to provide unobstructed views in all directions. Curved bay windows along the façade increase the number of corner spaces within the building and provide dual-aspect views from the offices.
