08.26.2025 JPMorgan Chase Tower Opens to First Employees at 270 Park Avenue in Midtown East, Manhattan
Employees have begun moving into the JPMorgan Chase Tower, the financial titan’s 1,389-foot-tall headquarters at 270 Park Avenue in Midtown East. Designed by Norman Foster of Foster + Partners and developed by Tishman Speyer, the 60-story supertall skyscraper yields 2.5 million square feet of office space with a capacity of 14,000 employees, and is the tallest structure in New York completely powered by hydroelectric energy. Adamson Associates was the architect of record and Gensler is the workplace designer for the $3 billion project, which occupies a full city block bounded by East 48th Street to the north, East 47th Street to the south, Park Avenue to the east, and Madison Avenue to the west.
Work finished on the main eastern entrance along Park Avenue since our last update in July, when crews had yet to form the new sidewalks. The surrounding plaza is lined with bronze-hued bollards matching the skyscraper’s exterior accents. Three sets of flag poles are mounted along the southern corner of the city block, while an undulating set of shallow steps, metal railings, and gently inclined ramps leads up to the front doors beneath the sleek canopies. The second accessible entryway for employees is positioned along East 47th Street directly in front of Vanderbilt Avenue.
