"Today marks the completion of 270 Park Avenue, JPMorganChase's global headquarters designed by Foster + Partners in New York. Rising sixty stories above Midtown, it stands 1,388 feet (423.1 meters) tall as the city's largest all-electric tower, powered entirely by renewable energy, and is designed to achieve net-zero operational emissions. From street level, the building's presence is defined by its lifted base - an 80-foot-high volume supported by fan-shaped columns and triangular bracing that create a sense of lightness across the entire block."
"The main entrance of JPMorganChase's headquarters in New York leads to a double-height lobby which the team at Foster + Partners designs with bronze surfaces, warm light, and a monumental stair that connects to a mezzanine. Above, eight expansive trading floors form the operational core of JPMorganChase's financial activities. At the tower's center, the triple-height Exchange serves as a communal hub, linking sixteen distinct venues for meetings and events within a single open volume. Materials and finishes emphasize daylight. Triple-pane glazing ensures energy efficiency and acoustic control, while a circadian lighting system aligns with natural human rhythms. Terraces at various levels extend views across the skyline, offering outdoor space for employees and visitors."
