About 500 Park Avenue
Where Park Avenue meets 59th Street in Midtown Manhattan, 500 Park Avenue holds offices and residential condominiums on the southwest corner. It consists of the Pepsi-Cola Building, 11 stories, and 500 Park Tower, 40 stories. Gordon Bunshaft and Natalie de Blois, architects at Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM), created the design of the original building, which dates from 1958 to 1960. James Stewart Polshek & Partners designed the tower along 59th Street, which went up between 1981 and 1984.
The Pepsi-Cola Building follows the International Style and has a curtain wall of glass and aluminum. Stories two through ten overhang a ground-level plaza slightly, and the eleventh floor held a company penthouse. The lobby first served as an exhibition space. The newer tower has a facade of thermal black granite, glass and aluminum. Offices on its first eleven floors extend into the original building, and the floors above hold 56 residential condominiums.
Pepsi-Cola Company had its headquarters in the original structure from its construction until 1967, and the John Hancock Mutual Insurance Company was the first owner. Olivetti S.p.A. then used the building as its headquarters until 1978. In 1995 the Pepsi-Cola Building was given New York City landmark status by the city's Landmarks Preservation Commission.

- Slender tower between neighbors
- The tall, narrow tower rises close beside its neighbors. A larger print size keeps its tall, narrow form crisp, and Print friendly adapts the finest facade lines to the scale.
- One piece with the ground
- 500 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. 500 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.
