KONE tells ELEVATOR WORLD it provided 16 new elevators with destination dispatch for the former CBS headquarters in Midtown Manhattan, NYC, a 38-story office building originally designed by Eero Saarinen that opened in the mid-1960s and is now known as Black Rock. New York YIMBY reported in April that a repositioning undertaken by Harbor Group International (HGI) was complete at 51 West 52nd Street. Upgrades that include revamped lobbies, new elevators, upgraded interiors, a new tenant lounge, a fitness center and a private café were overseen by architects Vocon and MdeAS Architects. They took care to preserve the façade and character of the building while incorporating features like stairs and water that appeal to contemporary office users. HGI President T. Richard Litton said the renovations have resulted in “palpable excitement from existing tenants and consistent leasing activity from prospective tenants.”
