One Penn Plaza, Skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan, US.
One Penn Plaza is a skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan with 57 floors and a height of 229 meters. Its steel and glass facade defines the surrounding streetscape and houses office spaces for major companies.
The building was completed in 1972 as part of Manhattan's commercial district modernization during the 1970s. Its construction reflects the economic expansion and confidence in New York's growth during that era.
Architect Ely Jacques Kahn integrated modern elements into the design, reflecting the architectural transitions of the early 1970s commercial buildings.
The lobby is easily accessible from street level and features modern elevators for movement throughout the building. Public areas can be explored freely, though office floors typically require proper authorization or business arrangements to enter.
The building stands directly adjacent to Madison Square Garden and Pennsylvania Station, forming a key transit hub in the city. This location makes it a reference point for commuters and visitors navigating between these major transportation centers.
