The office building at 425 Lexington Avenue in Midtown Manhattan was built in 1987, with a design by Helmut Jahn. The architect designed a Postmodern tower that is trapezoidal in plan and is clad in turquoise tinted glass that reflects the nearby Chrysler Building. It’s meant to represent a reinterpreted Classical column, as the top section of the tower angles out, incorporating within it a special conference area. The building is today home to office and retail tenants in a desirable and well-connected location. Situated directly across from Grand Central Terminal and the historic Chrysler Building, in the heart of the newly re-zoned Midtown East submarket.
