A standout on any skyline, 712 Fifth Avenue’s slender tower is one of the most graceful in New York and its unusual height in the elite Plaza District has already made it a modern landmark.

Built in 1990, 712 Fifth Avenue is one of New York City’s world-class, trophy properties. It combines the historic elements of its street-level townhouse façade, including turn of the century Bell Epoque splendor, with the modern design of its 53 story office tower. The result is a strong architectural statement of both classic and modernist form, sheathed in luminous grey limestone with textured surfaces,

Lattice-patterned detailing running the height of the tower is rendered in lightly polished pearl grey marble, as well as jet black and grey granite, with bronze medallions gracing the crown.

The tower is entered through the loggia – another bow to the classical surroundings of the neighborhood – where the lobby carries forward the façade materials and features polished marble, limestone and granite in shades of grey and black. Bronze and polished chrome accents complete the articulated, detailed look.

The windows at 712 Fifth have particular stature – from the three restored and unique-to-New York Rene Lalique masterworks in Henri Bendels – to the unually large windows of the tower. They create a sense of spaciousness on floors sized to provide full-floor identity to boutique corporate operations.

While it is known for its stylish design, 712 Fifth is also a LEED Gold and Energy Star certified building.
