Rising on the southeast corner of Park Avenue and East 59th Street, the building serves as a contemporary counterpoint to the avenue’s historic residential towers, offering tenants a premier corporate address at the crossroads of Midtown and the Plaza District.
With its Class A office space, highly efficient 11,000-square-foot floor plates, and panoramic views of Park Avenue and Central Park, 499 Park is designed to meet the needs of leading firms. Tenants and visitors are welcomed by a distinctive lobby, also crafted by Pei, that reflects the building’s elegance and architectural significance.
