The high-profile supertall has completed structural construction, reaching a major milestone ahead of completion in 2025.
Comprising luxury residences, world-class amenities, boutique offices, and street-level retail, the tower is encased in a distinctive façade of modular arches. “520 Fifth Avenue’s design is a modern interpretation of the architecture of stepping towers that has given Midtown Manhattan its distinctive character since the adoption of the zoning laws of 1916,” said James von Klemperer, KPF President and Design Principal.
“This tower will serve as a symbol of the ongoing evolution of Midtown Manhattan, honoring its past while ushering in a new blueprint for how we as New Yorkers live, work and enjoy life in the center of the center of one of the world’s most seminal neighborhoods,” said Josh Rabina, President and CEO of Rabina, the project’s developer. With over 70% of its residential units sold since sales launched in April, 520 Fifth Avenue is scheduled for completion in 2025.
