Foster + Partners completes long-awaited 425 Park Avenue in New York
British architecture studio Foster + Partners has completed a skyscraper in New York, which is the "first full-block office building" to be built on Park Avenue in over 50 years.
The highly anticipated 47-storey tower, named 425 Park Avenue, occupies a plot alongside landmarks including Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's Seagram Building and Lever House by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM).
Designed by Foster + Partners to push "the boundaries of workplace design", it features double-height planted terraces as well as an external structure that gives rise to column-free interiors.

"425 Park Avenue celebrates its historic context and the restrained elegance of its landmark neighbours, while simultaneously pushing the boundaries of workplace design and reflecting the contemporary spirit of the city," said the studio's founder Norman Foster. "The building's architectural form and structural expression are inextricably linked, providing it with a distinctive identity," he added.
"The floors with external terraces are the first of their kind on Park Avenue, creating a permeable and healthy working environment."

The 425 Park Avenue skyscraper was first unveiled in 2012. It was developed by Foster + Partners in collaboration with real estate developer L&L Holding's project team.
