888 7th Avenue, Modernist skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan, United States.
888 7th Avenue is a 46-story skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan featuring a symmetrical facade of glass and steel designed in the Neues Bauen style. The building combines a steel frame with expansive glass surfaces that typify the functionalist aesthetic of this design movement.
The architectural firm Emery Roth & Sons completed this commercial tower in 1971 during a period of significant development in Manhattan's urban landscape. Its construction was part of a broader wave of modern towers that transformed the district's appearance during that decade.
The building reflects the shift toward modernist architectural principles in New York through its emphasis on functional design and clean geometric forms. This orientation shapes how the structure relates to the public spaces surrounding it.
The building is well connected to public transit with several subway stations nearby offering access to multiple lines. Its Midtown Manhattan location surrounds visitors with restaurants, shops, and other conveniences.
The building is named after its straightforward address, reflecting 7th Avenue's position, a naming approach typical of New York's direct method for street architecture. This simple numbering made it easy to locate and describe, and later became a feature of many modern structures in this area.
