Random House Tower, Skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan, US

The Random House Tower reaches a height of 208 meters with 52 floors of glass facade on Broadway and West 56th Street.

Construction of this mixed-use building began in 2000 and finished in 2003, following Random House's decision to establish a new headquarters location.

The tower functions as a center for literature and publishing, connecting authors, editors, and industry professionals in the heart of New York City.

The structure contains office spaces from floors 2 to 26, while residential units occupy floors 27 to 51, with retail space on the ground level.

Two fluid tuned mass dampers located in the mechanical room on the 50th floor reduce building movement during high winds.
