Overview
Located at 270 Park Ave, New York, NY 10172, the new JPMorgan Chase Headquarters rises as a 1,388-foot, 60-story supertall skyscraper, designed by the esteemed Foster + Partners. Scheduled for completion in 2025, this landmark will be New York City’s largest all-electric tower, achieving net zero operational emissions. Replacing the outdated Union Carbide Building, it offers 2.5 million square feet of cutting-edge, flexible workspace to accommodate 10,000 employees.
Situated in Midtown Manhattan, bounded by Madison Avenue, 48th Street, Park Avenue, and 47th Street, this project spearheads the Midtown East Rezoning plan. It enhances the public realm with a grand plaza on Madison Avenue, wider sidewalks, and vital transit upgrades in partnership with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, cementing its status as a cornerstone of New York’s urban future.
Sustainability
The JPMorgan Chase Headquarters at 270 Park Ave, New York, NY 10172, sets a global standard for sustainable architecture. Fully powered by renewable hydroelectric energy from a New York State plant, it achieves net zero operational emissions. State-of-the-art technology—AI-driven sensors, triple-pane glazing, and solar shades integrated with HVAC systems—optimizes energy use, while advanced water storage reduces usage by over 40%.
During demolition, 97% of the Union Carbide Building’s materials were recycled or upcycled, far exceeding green benchmarks. Targeting LEED Platinum, WELL Platinum, and Fitwel 2-Star certifications, this tower exemplifies environmental responsibility, occupant health, and workplace wellness, making it a model for 21st-century urban development.
