919 Third Avenue, Modern skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan, US
919 Third Avenue is a modern skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan located at the corner of Third Avenue and East 55th Street. It contains 47 floors of office space in a glass and steel structure designed to house law firms and professional businesses.
Construction was completed in 1971 by the architectural firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill during a major period of commercial development in Manhattan. This project was part of the broader transformation reshaping Midtown's business landscape.
The building displays the glass and steel look typical of 1970s Midtown, shaping how the business district appears to visitors walking through the neighborhood today.
The building is easily accessible by subway and located in an active business district with restaurants and shops nearby. Keep in mind this is a working office building, so public access to the interior may be restricted.
The tower was cleverly designed around P.J. Clarke's bar at its base, as the restaurant owner refused to sell the property during development. This unexpected pairing creates a contrast between the busy office building above and the longtime neighborhood hangout below.
