About The Grand Central Office District
The Grand Central Office District was founded in 1913 when Grand Central Terminal was built by two (2) architectural firms; Reed & Stern and Warren & Whitmore. In 1978 Grand Central Station was granted New York City landmark building status, in an effort led by the then First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. The Vanderbilt Family of New York, original owners of the property, funded the construction back in the early 1900’s; subsequently the main hall was named after the Vanderbilt’s in 1998.

The largest office neighborhood in New York City, the Grand Central Office District has grown to a staggering 45 million square feet, offering a myriad of global and local business types a superbly-wide selection of Class A, B & C office space options, with annual rents ranging from $45 to $120 per rentable square foot.

About Spaces Here

It can be important for a business to create a new, upgraded work environment for their New York City employees without straying too far from their current Midtown Manhattan location – those requirements for larger space has been met at 280 Park Avenue. Beyond expansion; Grand Central area businesses in the financial industry appear to be quite keen on 280 Park. The reasons can range from the property being a world-class redevelopment that offers 50,000 SF. floor plates in base and 20,000-square-foot tower floors as the ideal office size. This coupled by the fact that there is limited supply of available space anywhere on Park Avenue; these factors have created an ideal office solution for today’s top-tiered firms in Manhattan!
