The birth of 500 Park Avenue Tower 🏙 Completed by Turner in 1984, the two buildings located at 62 E. 59th Street were collectively re-branded as 500 Park Avenue Tower. The new tower features a lower half comprised of 12 floors of commercial office space and a 28-story luxury condominium upper half. Upon its completion, the new tower was heralded as one of the finest post-war designs in New York City because of its clean-cut, modern lines, incised windows, and symmetrical massing. As a testament to its enduring design, 500 Park Avenue Tower received the following awards: Award of Merit, The Concrete Industry Board of New York (1983); National Honor Award for Architecture, AIA National (1985); Certificate of Merit for Excellence in Design, AIA New York (1985), and the Tucker Architect Award, Building Stone Institute (1986). #BuiltbyTurner #ParkAve #AIA 📷 Credit: Gaston W.

From Sinclair Oil to Landmark: A Rockefeller Icon 👴 🏢 Completed in 1952, 600 Fifth Avenue was the final addition to the Rockefeller Center complex. Originally known as the Sinclair Oil Building, it fronts Fifth Avenue and extends westward along 48th Street. It forms an L-shaped structure that wraps behind the lower-scaled buildings at 604 and 608 Fifth Avenue, connecting with 1 Rockefeller Plaza. 600 Fifth Avenue incorporates similar scale, materials, and major design details, echoing pre-war Rockefeller Center buildings. The architects prioritized usable open space over height, evident in the building's single entrance on 48th Street, which features a broad expanse of glass to continue the interior-exterior aesthetic. This design choice eliminated the need for corridors between multiple entrances, allowing most ground floor space to be used for profit-generating shops, each with its own street entrance. In 1985, 600 Fifth Avenue was designated a landmark by New York’s Landmarks Preservation Commission, recognizing its architectural and historical significance. #BuiltbyTurner #RockefellerCenter #RockCenter #600FifthAvenue
