599 Lexington Avenue is a 653 ft (199m) tall, 50-story skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, designed by Edward Larrabee Barnes/John MY Lee Architects.[1] It was the first building constructed by Mortimer Zuckerman and his company Boston Properties in New York City. The site was acquired for $84 million in 1984, and completed in 1986. The building is adjacent to the Citicorp Tower and is considered a well-designed contextual partner to the area. The entryway to the Lexington Ave. subway features a glass shed canopy that pays homage to the Citicorp Tower roof.
It is tied with both of the Silver Towers as the 89th tallest building in New York City. The lobby contains Frank Stella's Salto nel Mio Sacco.[2] The property also contains an entry to the Lexington Avenue/51st Street station of the New York City Subway, served by the Шаблон:NYCS trains. The building was completed without an anchor tenant.[3]
In 2016, FXFowle Architects completed a remodel of the interior lobby, hallways, and elevators to better light the Stella artwork and brighten the lobby space. The project's lead architect Bruce Fowle was a protegé of Edward Larrabee Barnes, the building's original designer. Advertising firm Pentagram assisted with the graphic design of the way-finding information.
