EAST SIDE OFFICE SPACE

East Midtown uniquely combines dense corridors of office skyscrapers with some of the city's most quaint residential enclaves.

Citigroup Center (1977), the sleek, silvery office tower that helped pioneer the innovation of the large indoor public atrium, stands on a site bounded by Third and Lexington avenues and 53^rd and 54^th streets. This building houses the company that is New York City's largest private-sector non-health-care-related employer.

Third Avenue is a major NYC office space corridor that emerged in a way similar to Sixth Avenue. The elevated railway once roared overhead. Third Avenue was known for bars. When the El came down, high-rise commercial office space moved in.

Third Avenue boasts, in addition to Citigroup Center, such major office buildings as 885 Third Avenue (the "Lipstick Building" by Johnson/Burgee), 875 Third Avenue (at 53^rd Street), the 50-story 780 Third Avenue (between 48^th and 49^th streets), and the distinctive 767 Third Avenue at 48^th Street. These were all built in the 1980s. Recently they have been joined by the dramatic Bloomberg Tower, a 54-story mixed-use structure on Third Avenue at 58^th Street designed by Cesar Pelli & Associates.

On Lexington Avenue, major office buildings include the 50-story 599 Lexington Avenue, at 53^rd Street, designed by Edward Larrabee Barnes Associates and built in 1986. The distinctive 135 East 57^th Street, designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox, went up in 1988.

The quaint Turtle Bay neighborhood is right at the feet of these commercial office space corridors and offers all manner of first-class amenities, including many of the city's finest restaurants. High-rise apartment buildings line First and Second avenues, while nearer the East River are the exclusive residential enclaves of Sutton Place and Beekman Place.

East Side also includes the headquarters of the United Nations. As a result, many organizations, both large and small, that are involved in international non-profit work find it advantageous to have their NYC office space in this district, which also includes many foreign consulates.

East Side boasts perhaps more business-class hotels than any comparably sized district in the country. These range from the legendary Waldorf-Astoria to the Inter-Continental to the Loews New York to the W Hotel, among many, many others. Some of the city's best shopping is in the district, where the world-famous Bloomingdale's department store is on Lexington Avenue at 59^th Street.

The East Side IRT subway provides transportation with express stations at 42^nd and 59^th streets and a local station at 51^st Street. Much of the area is also accessible from the Sixth Avenue line. Grand Central Terminal is near the southern end of the district and serves suburban trains of the MetroNorth Railroad.
