1st Look: 'New Landmark' Coming To 'Historic' New York Location

Plans for New York's largest all-electric tower at a "historic location" were released. We've got a sneak peek.

This week, JPMorgan Chase unveiled the design for its new state-of-the-art global headquarters at 270 Park Avenue. The 1,388-foot/423-meter, 60-story skyscraper is being designed by Foster + Partners.

“270 Park Avenue is set to be a new landmark that responds to its historic location as well as the legacy of JPMorgan Chase in New York. The unique design rises to the challenge of respecting the rhythm and distinctive streetscape of Park Avenue, while accommodating the vital transport infrastructure of the city below. The result is an elegant solution where the architecture is the structure, and the structure is the architecture, embracing a new vision that will serve JPMorgan Chase now and well into the future," Founder and Executive Chairman of Foster + Partners, Norman Foster said.
