425 Park Avenue: A Landmark Reimagined
Originally constructed in 1954, 425 Park Avenue has undergone a dramatic transformation to become one of Midtown Manhattan’s most striking modern office towers. The redevelopment, led by L&L Holding and GreenOak Real Estate, was designed by the renowned architectural firm Foster + Partners. Construction of the new tower began in 2016 and reached completion in October 2022, ushering in a new era for this iconic address.
Positioned among some of Park Avenue’s most celebrated Modernist structures—including the Seagram Building, Lever House, and the CBS Building—425 Park Avenue offers a sophisticated blend of timeless design and contemporary innovation. The building now stands as a symbol of architectural evolution and prestige in one of New York City’s most desirable business districts.
