One Bryant Park is not only a symbol of LEED excellence, but also of the highest standards in engineering and technology. With the goal of maintaining a connection to nature while incorporating the latest security systems, Cook + Fox Architects customized blackened stainless steel for the lobby’s interiors, marking a transition from the cooler stainless steel and aluminum used in the building’s more public spaces to the warmer, richer finishes of its inner core.

One of New York City’s first attempts to arrange big-box retail into a vertical format, Rego Park II occupies the equivalent of three to four Manhattan blocks with three floors of retail space, a residential tower, and a five-level car garage. Key to the design’s mixed-use “Main Street” feeling is a structural steel design that allows tenants to customize their spaces while remaining unified by pedestrian platforms and bridges that crisscross an open-air galleria.

One of the final pieces in the Times Square redevelopment project, Eleven Times Square will add 1.1 million square feet of office space to the 24-hour environment in which business and entertainment converge. The building itself is home to another sort of intersection; its cantilevered steel frame takes advantage of an oddly shaped site to offer rare column-free corner views and flexible, LEED Gold-targeted tenant space suitable to a range of uses.

When Bank of America commissioned Gensler to design a staircase uniting its trading floors at One Bryant Park, the architects knew that the design would represent the bank’s brand in addition to streamlining the flow of traffic between trading rooms. Erected after the building’s steel superstructure was in place, the exposed steel and glass staircase left no room for mistakes. As a result of the well-coordinated design and construction process, the illuminated structure now helps the bank stand out from neighboring corporate office buildings.
