About 399 Park Avenue
399 Park Avenue is an office tower of 41 stories in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. It takes up a whole block, bounded by Park Avenue and Lexington Avenue on two sides and by 53rd Street and 54th Street on the others. Citigroup used it as its world headquarters from 1961, when the company left 55 Wall Street, until 2015, when it moved to 388 Greenwich Street. Wikidata names Carson & Lundin as the architect.
Vincent Astor put the lot together and first planned a 46-story Astor Plaza there, but a pharmacy held out and slowed the assembly of the mostly residential lots. An annex, Citigroup Center, opened in 1974 across Lexington Avenue to the east. Boston Properties bought the tower in 2002 for $1.06 billion, paying over $630 per square foot, which set a record for an office building at that time.
The ownership changed more than once. In 1987 Dai-Ichi Mutual Life Insurance Company paid $670 million to Citigroup, which sold one third of its stake here and two-thirds of its stake in Citigroup Center. Citigroup later bought its share back. Lehman Brothers rented 37,000 m2 (400,000 square feet) here until its 2008 bankruptcy, after much of its own headquarters at Brookfield Place was damaged in the September 11 attacks.
How it prints
Make this print opens the generator on a 600 m square around the landmark. Buildings print at close to true scale, so the landmark grows with the print size.

|---|---|---|
| 160 mm default | 44 mm | 1:3,750 |
| 200 mm | 55 mm | 1:3,000 |

- Vertical fins and window grid
- The tower's long sides are lined with fine vertical lines and a window grid. "Full detail" keeps them; a layer height of 0.12–0.16 mm helps them stay crisp up the full height.
- Sharp edges on a tall slab
- The rectangular shaft is tall for its footprint, so a larger print gives it more strength. If it prints small, slow the layers near the top so the corners stay clean.
- One piece with the ground
- 399 Park Avenue is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
- Pick the detail for your nozzle
- In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
- Colors
- Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. 399 Park Avenue takes the building color.
- File format
- You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.
