10 East 40th Street, Commercial skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan, United States.
The structure at 10 East 40th Street is a 48-story office tower reaching approximately 192 meters in height and serves business tenants. Twelve elevators handle vertical circulation throughout the building.
Construction was completed in 1929, marking a peak period of vertical development in Manhattan just before the economic collapse. The project reflected the intense building activity taking place across the city at that time.
The building reflects the design language of the 1920s through its steel frame and decorative details visible on the facade. These architectural features continue to shape the appearance of the surrounding blocks today.
The building sits near the New York Public Library and benefits from excellent subway access through multiple nearby stations. Its central location makes it easy to reach public transportation and surrounding business areas.
The design by architectural firm Ludlow & Peabody significantly influenced how the Murray Hill neighborhood developed. The structure spans an entire block between 39th and 40th Street.
