Location: 601 Lexington Avenue, Midtown East, NYC, NY, USA
601 Lexington Avenue is located in the heart of Midtown Manhattan at East 53rd Street and Lexington Avenue, directly across from 599 Lexington Avenue. This 59-story building has direct access to the Atrium Shops and Cafes, home to first class shopping, restaurants and a health club. It also provides the convenience of access to New York City’s five boroughs through its prime location atop a major subway station.
601 Lexington Avenue’s world-recognized silhouette was designed by Hugh Stubbins & Associates and Emery Roth & Sons. Built in 1977, the retail atrium and open-air concourse were renovated in 1997. A new office lobby was built in 2010. The property is held in a joint venture and Boston Properties’ ownership share is 55%.
