277 Park Avenue

277 Park Avenue is a 50-story office tower of glass and steel located in Midtown Manhattan between East 47th and 48th Streets. The structure embodies the functional design principles of the Neues Bauen movement through its streamlined exterior and efficient interior spaces.

Construction began in 1962 under the architectural firm Emery Roth & Sons and was completed in 1964. The building emerged during a period when modern office design was reshaping skyscraper standards across Manhattan.

The building represents the Neues Bauen architectural movement, emphasizing functional design principles through its minimalist exterior and efficient interior layout.

The building received its own ZIP code 10172 in 2019 to streamline mail delivery for its JPMorgan Chase offices and other corporate tenants. This administrative distinction reflects the scale and self-contained nature of this major corporate address.

Since its 2022 renovation, the building features a lighting system that adjusts brightness and color temperature throughout the day. This technology is designed to support the natural circadian rhythms of its workers.
