Full demolition permits have been filed for 409 Park Avenue in Midtown, Manhattan. According to the filing, the site is owned by GDSNY under the Clover Park Development LLC. It currently houses a 4,300-square-foot, two-story commercial building used by Stefano Ricci, an Italian menswear boutique. The 23-foot-tall structure was built in 1910.
Demolition is nearly complete on the Union Carbide Building, JP Morgan Chase‘s former 52-story, 707-foot-tall headquarters at 270 Park Avenue in Midtown East, while the new steel superstructure for its 2.5 million-square-foot supertall replacement continues to rise on the opposite side of the full-block plot. The new 1,425-foot-tall skyscraper will eventually stand as one of the tallest structures in New York City on a parcel of land bound by Park Avenue to the east, Madison Avenue to the west, East 47th Street to the south, and East 48th Street to the north.
