450 Park Avenue (also known as Franklin National Bank Building) is an office building in Midtown Manhattan in New York. The building has 33 floors and is 119 metres (390.4 feet) tall.
450 Park Avenue has a steel skeleton with concrete floors. The exterior is dominated by black granite and glass. The building was designed by Emery Roth & Sons and developed by Peter Sharp. Adjacent to the building is a public plaza, a Privately Owned Public Space, with benches.[2]
History
In June 2002, 450 Park Avenue was purchased by Taconic Investment Partners. That company spent around $ 13 million on renovating the lobby, replacing the elevators, and redesigning public areas.[3]
Five years later, in June 2007, Somerset Partners bought 450 Park Avenue for $ 509 million, which meant a price of $ 1,566 per square foot. This made it the highest price per square foot paid for an office building at the time in the United States.[4] To pay for the building, Somerset Partners signed a $ 175 million loan. In the summer of 2008, Somerset Partners also moved its head office to the building.
On 30 October 2010, a brand of the Phillips de Pury auction house opened on the first three floors of 450 Park Avenue. The first auction was held on 8 November of that year. The auction house covers an area of almost 31,000 m2 (333,681.2 sq ft).[5]
In February 2014, 450 Park Avenue was sold to Crown Acquisitions and Oxford Properties for $545 million.[6]
The New York Times reported in December 2018 that Phillips would move next door to 432 Park Avenue.[7]
