It will serve as workplace with modern infrastructure, smart technology and 2.5 million ft2 of flexible and collaborative space that can easily embrace the requirements of the future of work.
Foster + Partners founder and executive chairman Norman Foster said: “270 Park Avenue is set to be a new landmark that responds to its historic location as well as the legacy of JPMorgan Chase in New York. The unique design rises to the challenge of respecting the rhythm and distinctive streetscape of Park Avenue, while accommodating the vital transport infrastructure of the city below.
“The result is an elegant solution where the architecture is the structure, and the structure is the architecture, embracing a new vision that will serve JPMorgan Chase now and well into the future.”
