Overview
Standing 43 stories tall and encompassing more than 2 million square feet, 1290 Avenue of the Americas is a quintessential American skyscraper in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, ideally positioned adjacent to Rockefeller Center and the iconic Radio City Music Hall. Completed in 2025, an extensive capital improvement program reimagined the building for the future while honoring its distinguished legacy. The transformation seamlessly blends 1290 Avenue of the Americas' iconic stature with Vornado's signature WorkLife hospitality program and unrivaled amenities, creating a premier workplace experience. Expansive, open floor plates provide exceptional flexibility, empowering tenants to shape environments that reflect their unique vision for the future of work. Among the property's standout features is The Meadow and Paviliona first-of-its-kind amenity offering 10,000 square feet of landscaped rooftop outdoor space paired with 15,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed, multi-functional meeting and event venues. The Concourse connects an exceptional collection of tenant-exclusive amenities, including a state-of-the-art fitness and wellness center, premium locker rooms, a seven-room mothers' suite, and generous bicycle storage. Further enhancing the building's dynamic mixed-use environment, Five Iron Golf opened in 2025, while the highly anticipated Maple & Ash restaurant is scheduled to debut in late 2026, adding to the property's exceptional retail and hospitality offerings.
