A Modern Icon in Midtown Manhattan
The New York Times Building, completed in 2007, is a gleaming symbol of transparency and innovation in Midtown Manhattan. Designed by renowned architect Renzo Piano in collaboration with FXFOWLE Architects, the tower stands as the headquarters of The New York Times Company. Located at 620 Eighth Avenue between 40th and 41st Streets, the 52-story skyscraper was developed by Forest City Ratner and is known for its ceramic rod-covered glass façade, which maximizes natural light while reducing heat. This environmentally conscious and architecturally striking building has become a major landmark in the Hudson Yards district and a beacon of 21st-century urban design.
From the bold lobby to a classic meal at Wolfgang’s, this Midtown landmark never disappoints.
