101 Park Avenue, Skyscraper in Murray Hill, Manhattan, US
101 Park Avenue is a Neues Bauen-style skyscraper in Murray Hill, Manhattan, rising 49 floors to about 192 meters. The office floors are column-free, meaning each floor can be arranged without fixed interior walls.
The tower was built between 1979 and 1982, designed by Eli Attia Architects. It was completed during a period when Midtown Manhattan was seeing a wave of new office construction that shaped the area as it looks today.
The building sits right next to Grand Central Terminal, one of the city's busiest transit hubs, which gives the entrance area a constant flow of commuters and visitors every day. The lobby is designed as a public passageway, reflecting the open character of the surrounding Midtown neighborhood.
The building is at the corner of Park Avenue and 41st Street, a short walk from several subway lines and next to Grand Central Terminal. As it is a private office building, visitors can only enter the lobby or view the exterior from the street.
The building has its own ZIP code, 10178, a distinction shared by only around 40 other addresses in Manhattan. This is not a privilege but a practical postal solution for buildings that receive so much daily mail that sorting it under a single address becomes unworkable.
