Timeless architecture at the crossroads of Park Avenue and Midtown luxury
505 Park Avenue is a distinguished 22-story office tower in the heart of Manhattan’s Plaza District. Built in 1949 and originally designed by Emery Roth & Sons, the building was reimagined in 1987 by renowned architect Der Scutt, designer of Trump Tower. Its striking black façade with bronze detailing, rounded corner silhouette, and stepped high-rise levels give it a commanding presence on the corner of Park Avenue and 59th Street.
Inside, tenants and visitors are welcomed by a two-story Saint Florient marble lobby, a reflection of the building’s timeless elegance. Spanning 218,000 square feet, 505 Park Avenue is home to notable tenants including Lincoln International, Symrise, and Atria Health. Its Plaza District location places it among some of the world’s most prestigious businesses, hotels, restaurants, and boutiques—just one block from subway access and convenient to all major transportation.
