Solow Building, Postmodern skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan, United States
The Solow Building rises 210 meters with 50 floors and features north and south facades that curve inward from ground level to the eighteenth floor.
Sheldon Solow purchased multiple properties in the 1960s to create the site for this building, which opened its doors in 1974 following construction.
The ground plaza displays a red numeral 9 sculpture and includes the Moonbird artwork by Joan Miró, installed in 1994.
The building contains 34 elevators and provides 1.5 million square feet of office space near major subway lines, including F, N, R, Q, 4, 5, and 6.
The structure commands some of New York City's highest rental rates and maintains 90 percent occupancy as of 2023.
