Foster + Partners has completed the framing for JPMorgan Chase's headquarters at 270 Park Avenue, which the studio claims will be the largest all-electric tower in New York City.
Today marked the completion of the supertall skyscraper's 1,388-foot (423 metres) high steel structure, with the final beam raised and slotted in place.
"In 1811, when this site was countryside, the city commissioners created a masterplan for New York," said Foster + Partners founder Norman Foster. "It was bold, innovative, and reflected an optimism for the future. Today, over two hundred years later, the same things are true of 270 Park Avenue."
"The building is a great investment in the city, the bank, and the well-being of the 14,000 people who will occupy it," Foster added. "It does more with less ? more public space, fresh air, light and views ? and less carbon through electric, green energy."

According to the studio, the 60-story building will be New York City's "largest all-electric tower with net zero operational emissions" and will be 100 per cent powered by energy sourced from a hydroelectric plant in New York State.
It consists of several verticle volumes of differing heights pressed together to form a stepped tower. These are placed on a stilted base that rises 80 feet (24 metres) off the ground.
