767 Fifth Avenue | The General Motors Building

The 50-story office tower known as the General Motors Building stands as a landmark property and a defining aspect to the New York City skyline. The building’s address is 767 Fifth Avenue and can be found between 59th and 60th Streets near the southeastern tip of Central Park in Manhattan. Clad in white marble – the property has been more attractive as a piece of real estate and as a home to its corporate tenants than it has to architecture critics – the skyscraper was built in 1968 by architects Edward Durell Stone & Associates with Emery Roth & Sons. This property takes up a full block and has been a major thoroughfare for Apple customers / aficionados who’ve in recent day make their pilgrimage to this retail mecca (being one of the worlds most trafficked retail shops – 2015). White Georgian marble accents the tower’s vertical rise which are complimented by by a glass-curtain wall of inlaid panels all of which tapers slightly from the base to the top. As stated on Wikipedia “The façade is an expression of unbroken verticality in “glistening white Georgia marble” and sheets of glass.”

The GM Building plays host a number of high-end corporate office tenants and contains 1.7 million square feet of leasable luxury commercial space within. Today there stand only a handful of buildings that inspire a sense of prosperity, influence, and success as 767 Fifth Avenue has. Over the years this building has broken records in office leasing, making availability a highly coveted opportunity to rent.

Property Details
In recent time Macklowe Properties undertook a $150 million dollar program which has served to revitalize and restore the property to its original grandeur – thereby strengthening the building’s position as one of Manhattan’s most iconic and top quality commercial buildings. Implementation has covered a range of areas within that has included common areas like the lobby, halls, and elevators. In addition improvements have been closely tied to a hands-on approach to focusing on tenant-services through on-site management and staff. Being situation where it is many of its tenants do enjoy view of Central Park as an added perk to leasing at this site.

Tenants to the building over the years have included big names in business and as the namesake the property was originally owned and occupied by General Motors who sold the building in 1982. The Plaza District tower originally opened in 1968, replacing the much adored 33-story Savoy-Plaza Hotel, which was demolished in 1965. Since that time the property has turned over a few hands and now stands firmly under the control / ownership of Boston Properties and Zhang Xin plus the Safra family.
