About 5 Times Square
Standing 575 feet (175 m) tall, 5 Times Square is a skyscraper of 38 stories, mostly offices, in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. It occupies the south end of Times Square, along the west side of Seventh Avenue from 41st to 42nd Street. Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF) designed it, and Boston Properties developed it for Ernst & Young (EY).
KPF's plan gave the building a glass curtain wall facade, with large billboards on the lower stories, tied to the 42nd Street Development Project. The steel superstructure has lattice beams to resist wind, plus a mechanical core. The building holds 1.1 million square feet of floor space, much of it offices, and retail space and a subway entrance occupy the bottom three stories. Work began in 1999 after EY signed on as anchor tenant, leasing the whole building for 20 years, and the tower opened in 2002.
