"JPMorgan Chase unveiled its new 60-story headquarters to the public on Monday, one of the first major office buildings to be constructed post-COVID pandemic and one that will remake the New York City skyline for decades. The copper-toned steel tower at 270 Park, which reportedly cost $3 billion, replaced the Union Carbide Building, which sat on the site of 48th Street and Park Avenue for nearly 60 years."
"The building contains 2.5 million square feet and a block's worth of public space. The bank also commissioned five new artworks for the building, adding to the bank's already substantial art collection. The bank will house its trading operations in the building across eight floors. The building was a major engineering and architectural undertaking by Foster + Partners, the building's lead architect."
JPMorgan Chase opened a 60-story, copper-toned steel headquarters at 270 Park, replacing the Union Carbide Building and costing about $3 billion. The building contains 2.5 million square feet and includes a block's worth of public space and five commissioned artworks. The bank plans to house roughly 10,000 of its 24,000 New York-based employees there, with trading operations spanning eight floors. The project was designed by Foster + Partners and required systematic demolition over two years because the site sits above Metro-North Railroad rails under Park Avenue. The new headquarters consolidates operations previously spread across multiple nearby buildings.
