SL Green, the city’s largest office landlord, released sketches for its planned office tower at 41 East 42nd Street, to be known as One Vanderbilt.
The images depict a towering giant approaching 1,500-feet, and soaring well beyond notable neighbors like The Chrysler Building and MetLife.
The 1.55-million-square-foot building will be located at 41 East 42nd Street on Midtown’s East Side, where the city is considering a zoning change to allow for taller and bulkier structures.

The new zoning would only regulate density and square footage on new construction projects, with no restrictions on building height. One Vanderbilt will be one of the first towers to rise as part of the Midtown East re-zoning, and the building will occupy the entire block Immediately adjacent to Grand Central.
The building looks like a taller sibling of Related’s Hudson Yards towers, which comes as no surprise given they share the same architect.
One Vanderbilt is not a final product at this point, but it will transform the Midtown skyline regardless. As the first of the new Midtown East giants, it will pave the way for innovation and establish the new skyscraper as a icon.
