3. Diamond District Vault

580 Fifth Avenue-Diamond Vault-Diamond District-Midtown-NYC

According to an application from Brink’s, Inc. and Brink’s Global Services USA, Inc., below 580 5th Avenue there is a vault “capable of housing one million ounces of gold, platinum, and palladium, and an additional two million ounces of silver.” The description continues: “There are 5,000 square feet of space available [of which the vault is 752 square feet] enclosed by four steel reinforced cinder block walls with a concrete ceiling and concrete floor on top of bedrock. The no floor vault solution is surface mounted to the existing basement slab which is described as bedrock.” 580 5th Avenue is right next to the diamond-shaped lamp posts that mark the beginning of the Diamond District.
