425 Park Avenue: $300/SF and What Justifies It
425 Park Avenue is achieving $300 per square foot in rent — a figure that reflects both its position as the first new office building on Park Avenue in 50 years and a design that is deliberately, visibly different. Completed in 2022, the building's architecture stands apart from the glass-box inventory that defines much of Midtown's supply. In a market where differentiation is difficult and tenant attention is hard to hold, 425 Park offers something most buildings cannot: a product that is immediately recognizable and difficult to substitute. That distinctiveness is not incidental — it is the asset. When a building reads as irreplaceable, the lease conversation changes. The $300 number is the outcome of that dynamic, not a coincidence.

Welcome to the $100 Foot Club, the series where we check out New York's top office buildings.
I'm Or Lev-Cohen, founder of Trophy, and the beautiful building behind me is the newest
office building on Park Avenue in 50 years. And not only that, it has this amazing,
unmistakable design. I'm obviously talking about 425 Park, built in 2022. Just recently,
it's brand new. And not only that, but it has this unique design, which is basically unforgettable.
And that's exactly what you want when you're competing in a market like office space.
So many glass boxes in the city. You have this product that is different, that is unique,
much harder to walk away from. That's exactly what they're doing. And thanks to that,
they've been able to achieve a mind-boggling number of $300 square foot. Just amazing. So
425 Park, an amazing building. This is the $100 Foot Club, and I'll see you on the next one.
you
