One Vanderbilt: A New Neighbor Right Near Grand Central Terminal

A new building right near the Grand Central Terminal? We welcome neighbors! However, there has been deliberation as to whether or not the Kohn Pederson Fox skyscraper would be a "harmonious" addition to the block.

The architect, James von Klemperer included the below highlights in his presentation to the LPC:

• The building would be set back seven feet from the property line.
• The slated building would have direct access to multiple levels of Grand Central, providing an extension of waiting space.
• The concave tile ceiling would recall the spirit of Guastavino.
• The way the building tapers will maximize the amount of light that gets to the street.
