The redevelopment of this New York City Beaux-Arts style historic landmark, which formerly served as the city’s main U.S. Postal Service branch, involved core and shell construction of the James A. Farley Building and an annex building to the west for office and retail space. The upper floors of the 1.4-million-sq-ft Farley structure have been transformed into 730,000 sq ft of tech firm space.
Inspired by traditional French pavilions used for gatherings in parks or on avenues lined with gardens and trees, the project team created a nature-surrounded dining venue in a 55-ft-high space inside the 67-story One Vanderbilt tower.
