Morgan Stanley Building, Office skyscraper in Times Square, Manhattan, United States.
The Morgan Stanley Building is an office tower with 42 floors at 1585 Broadway between 47th and 48th Streets in Manhattan's Theater District. Its facade combines glass and aluminum with horizontal bands that define the street experience.
Construction of the building finished in 1990, but it struggled with financial problems early on. Morgan Stanley bought it in 1993 and made it their New York headquarters.
The building shapes the look of the Theater District and shows how major financial companies operate in this busy area. Its modern design stands out clearly against the older theaters nearby.
The building sits in a central location and is easy to reach by public transportation, with multiple subway lines nearby. The entrance area connects the interior with the surrounding streets and provides access to local shops.
The glass facade with mirrored panels and gabled roof changes its appearance depending on the time of day and light conditions. This constantly shifting visual effect makes the building interesting to observe as you walk past.
