425 Fifth Avenue, Residential skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan, United States
425 Fifth Avenue is a residential skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan standing approximately 188 meters tall with a glass facade and stepped sections that taper toward the top. The structure contains 55 floors with 197 residential units and operates with 11 elevators.
The building was constructed between 1999 and 2003, replacing the five-story Siebrecht Building that belonged to Pierre Abraham Lorillard. This redevelopment marked a shift from classical to modern architecture on that site.
The structure displays postmodern architectural features that fit into the Fifth Avenue context and reflect Manhattan's street grid pattern. Its design creates a relationship with neighboring buildings while maintaining its own presence on the avenue.
The structure provides residential living spaces in the heart of Manhattan's business district and is designed for daily inhabitants. Visitors should note that it is a private residential building and not a public attraction open to the general public.
The building acquired additional floor space through air rights purchased from neighboring structures, a system that allows developers to gain height capacity. The city also granted a zoning bonus for creating a public plaza as part of the project.
