Silverstein Properties recently announced two new lease signings totaling approximately 58,000 square feet at 1177 Avenue of the Americas, a Class A office tower in Midtown, Manhattan. The property, which was built in 1992 and underwent a large-scale renovation in 2013, was designed by Swanke Hayden Connell Architects.
Faegre Drinker, a long-time tenant, will relocate within the building to occupy floors 41 through 43, totaling 42,394 square feet. In addition, The Trustees of Columbia University signed a 15,375-square-foot lease for the 34th floor, relocating from 405 Lexington Avenue.
1177 Avenue of the Americas stands 47 stories tall and yields approximately 1,000,000 square feet. It is located between 45th and 46th Streets, and is a short walk from Grand Central Station, which offers easy transit throughout the New York City metropolitan area.
“We’re thrilled to both continue our relationship with Faegre Drinker and welcome The Trustees of Columbia University to 1177 Avenue of the Americas,” said Joseph Artusa, senior vice president at Silverstein Properties. “A modern, collaborative workplace is essential to the growth and success of renowned institutions. This building not only offers a state-of-the-art tenant experience but also a prime location with convenient access to New York City’s best cultural and entertainment offerings.”

I work near this building, it’s a very good classic ’80s (early ’90s) post-modern design. It should be registered one day.

Should show a photo of it.
1958 called!
