Americas Tower, Art Deco skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan, United States.
Americas Tower at 1177 Avenue of the Americas is a 50-story skyscraper rising 211 meters above Midtown. Its polished reddish-pink granite facade creates a distinctive appearance with clean vertical lines and smooth surfaces that catch the light.
Construction began in 1989 but faced legal delays before completion in 1992. This timeline reflects broader changes in real estate development during that period in Manhattan.
The tower displays a blend of Art Deco and postmodern architectural elements that shaped commercial building design in New York City. This mixed style is visible in Midtown's skyline and contributes to the character of Avenue of the Americas.
The tower is readily accessible from street level on a major avenue with good public transit connections. The interior houses offices and businesses, though public access is limited to the ground floor areas.
The property changed ownership to German-American investors in 2002, reflecting international investment in Manhattan real estate. This shift shows how European capital influenced the city's commercial property market during that period.
