The New York Life Building is the third skyscraper in New York City designed by Cass Gilbert. It reflects the neo-Gothic style, and elements of the architect's earlier designs for the Woolworth Building and the West Street Building are also evident in its facade. The 40-floor tower occupies a prominent locaiton on the north side of Madison Square Park, its gold leaf crown visible for blocks. 

Upon entering the ground floor, visitors are presented with a recently renovated classical lobby featuring a vaulted, coffered ceiling illuminated by 18 hanging lamps. Other amenities include a 950 seat cafeteria that provides catering services, a childcare center, as well as conference and copy centers. The New York Life Insurance headquarters are still located within the building, and other tenants include the Thornton-Tomasetti Group and Misaka. The New York Life Building provides direct access to 28th Street subway station and the 6 train. N, R, W and Path train service is located nearby.
