Building Overview

You know the corner of Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street. Your clients do too. 505 Fifth Avenue office space puts you directly across from the New York Public Library and Bryant Park. This address speaks for itself.

More Than a Prestigious Zip Code

Stawski Partners completed the 28-story tower in 2006. Since then, it has earned LEED Gold certification and the America’s Property Award for Best Mixed Use Development USA. The site once held the mansion where Edith Wharton made her 1879 society debut. Today, the 275,000-square-foot building carries that same sense of distinction. Kohn Pedersen Fox designed the striking glass facade. Cast-in-place reinforced concrete construction provides safety standards that exceed New York City Building Code requirements. You get a building with history, credibility, and curb appeal.

Your Space, Your Layout, Your Views

505 Fifth Avenue office space gives you 11-foot floor-to-ceiling glass walls framing Bryant Park, the Empire State Building, and Rockefeller Center. A 15-foot cantilever design eliminates perimeter columns entirely, so you can configure full floors of 10,700 to 16,000 rentable square feet however you want. Furthermore, the 13-foot slab-to-slab heights make even smaller offices feel open. Select upper floors that include terraces or atriums when you want fresh air without leaving the building.

Built Around How You Actually Work

Every system here exists to make your day easier, not to create headaches or extra costs.

  • Climate on Your Terms: Each floor has its own MERV 13 filtered AC unit running 24/7. You control the temperature without overtime charges or waiting on building management.
  • Power You Can Count On: Direct utility metering, buss duct distribution, and tenant-available emergency generators keep your operations running when it matters most.
  • Connectivity Without Limits: Multiple telecom providers, redundant entry points, secure high-speed internet, and roof antenna or satellite options mean you never outgrow the infrastructure.
  • Round-the-Clock Security: Card key access, video surveillance, and a continuously attended lobby protect your team and clients any hour of the day.
  • Service That Handles the Details: White-glove concierge and internal messenger services take care of logistics so you can focus on your business.
