It will be the new state-of-the-art world headquarters for JPMorgan Chase, the largest bank in the United States and one of the largest financial companies in the world, and will become the new super skyscraper in New York, with its 423 meters high. Located at 270 Park Avenue, it will have 60 floors, and will be the largest all-electric tower in the city with zero operating emissions.
New York’s new super skyscraper will allow up to 14,000 employees to work, replacing an aging facility designed in the late 1950s for approximately 3,500 employees. It will offer 2.5 times more outdoor space on the ground floor of Park and Madison avenues, with wider sidewalks and a large public plaza on Madison avenue with natural green spaces and other amenities aimed at residents, workers and visitors who frequent the park. neighborhood on a regular basis.
“The concept of the new design was to create a timeless addition to Park Avenue, which celebrates the city’s iconic architectural history and serves as a powerful new symbol for the next generation of office towers in New York,” they said from the Foster + Partners architectural firmresponsible for the design of the tower.
270 Park Avenue will be powered by 100 percent renewable energy from a New York State hydroelectric plant. In addition to operating at net zero carbon emissions, the building will use state-of-the-art building technology and systems to ensure it operates as efficiently as possible, including smart building technology that uses sensors, artificial intelligence and machine learning systems to predict, respond and adapt to energy needs; advanced water storage and reuse systems to reduce water use by more than 40 percent.
The new super skyscraper in New York will also have a triple glazing system on the façade and automatic solar shades for greater energy efficiency, as well as outdoor terraces with green spaces.
With an investment of 3 billion dollars, when the skyscraper is complete, it will be the sixth tallest in the city.
And with workers increasingly accustomed to working at home or in a hybrid format, nothing was left to chance for this new building. Not only its large windows, green spaces, energy efficiency were taken into account, but also even Deepak Chopra, the Indian New Age writer and speaker and promoter of pseudoscientific therapies, is listed as one of his consultants..
While Asia and the Middle East fight to keep the throne of the best or, at least, the highest skyscraper of the world, New York does not intend to be left behind. And this building is proof of that.
