350 Park Avenue is situated at the corner of Park Avenue and 51st Street in an area replete with office buildings that also house some of New York City's most renowned hotels. As a result, 350 Park Avenue has become a popular tourist destination due to its close proximity to Union Square and Madison Square Park, two iconic New York City attractions.
For those seeking a beautiful, spacious apartment in an exclusive NYC neighborhood, 350 Park Avenue is the ideal choice. Just steps away from some of NYC's most beloved landmarks, as well as being within easy access of a subway station, this building provides easy access to everything you need.
In addition to its convenient location, the building provides a range of amenities for its residents such as concierge service, fitness center and 24-hour front desk. Furthermore, it is pet-friendly and there are no parking fees.
A classic Park Avenue tower, this building is situated between Fifth Avenue retail and Grand Central Station. Offering a block-front presence, it has become an attractive option for those searching for high-rise apartments in Manhattan's financial district.
One of the key outcomes of New York City's recent East Midtown rezoning is the revitalization of corporate Park Avenue. Once an unremarkable street, it only became popular as a hub for commercial development. Thanks to these changes in zoning regulations, however, this redevelopment is providing residents with a much more vibrant streetscape as well as improved transit options.
The avenue has seen numerous successful redevelopment projects, with only a few less impressive examples. Notable among them are Macklowe's Tower Fifth which will be completed in a few years, the majestic skyscraper at 270 Park Avenue and Foster + Partners' 425 Park Avenue which should be finished by 2032.
Despite the change in status for Park Avenue, its historic buildings remain undamaged. One such example is the Roman Catholic Church of Our Saviour at 59 Park Avenue - a limestone structure built in 1959 that still retains its charm and appeal today.
The Grand Union hotel at 57 Park Avenue was converted to apartments in 1914 when excavations for New York City's subway system were necessary. In its heyday, it boasted a restaurant and 350 guest rooms; however, in 1914 it closed due to lack of room availability.
This is the start of many articles I plan on writing about redevelopment projects along Park Avenue, so stay tuned!
With each passing month on Park Avenue, it becomes more evident that the Avenue is improving - with one notable exception: Union Carbide Building at 270 Park Avenue. From a design and aesthetic standpoint, this building has been somewhat disappointing.
