About 452 Fifth Avenue
452 Fifth Avenue is an office building where Fifth Avenue meets 40th Street, on the southwest corner, in Midtown Manhattan in New York City. Other names include 10 Bryant Park and, in earlier years, the Republic National Bank Building. It faces Bryant Park directly to the north. The main part is the HSBC Tower, which has 30 stories, stands 400 feet (120 m) tall and was finished in late 1985 to plans by Attia & Perkins.
At the base of the tower, a 10-story Beaux-Arts office building, the Knox Building, has been preserved. John H. Duncan designed it in 1902. Its facade remains largely as designed, with decorated limestone, a mansard roof and a cornice over the sixth floor. The tower's glass facade bends around the Knox Building on its north side, while a matching curved tower across Fifth Avenue never went up. The Knox Building has New York City landmark designation and is also listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
Edward M. Knox, who ran the Knox Hat Company, had the Knox Building erected in 1901–1902 and leased several floors to office tenants. By 1964 the Knox heirs had sold the property to investors who established Republic National Bank of New York; the bank made it its headquarters. In the 1970s the bank bought adjoining lots and engaged Attia & Perkins to design a new tower wrapping around the Knox Building.
