Set to become the tallest office tower in Midtown, One Vanderbilt’s tapered massing is comprised of four interlocking volumes that spiral upward to create a new icon on the Manhattan skyline. At the tower’s base, a series of angled cuts organize a visual procession to Grand Central, while below-grade connections to the terminal allow One Vanderbilt to fit into the city’s network of public transportation, transforming the civic experience of the congested 42nd Street corridor.
