JPMorgan Chase’s New Supertall Coming Together in NYC

A hive of construction activity can be witnessed at 270 Park Avenue in Midtown East, Manhattan, NYC, site of JPMorgan Chase’s new, 1,389-ft, supertall headquarters (HQ), ahead of anticipated completion in summer 2025, New York YIMBY reports. The 60-story tower, designed by Norman Foster of Foster + Partners and developed by Tishman Speyer, will house 2.5 million ft² of office space and become the tallest building in NYC powered entirely by hydroelectric energy. Since YIMBY‘s last update in August 2024, the tower crane has been dismantled, the reflective glass and bronze-hued cladding covers more of the skyscraper and a distinctive diagrid of bronze beams is in place up to the third setback. Work is also progressing on the interior and at the base, where sections of the glass envelope are being installed behind massive perimeter columns. The elevator system will be by Otis, and Jaros, Baum & Bolles is among the consultants.
