About 520 Park Avenue
520 Park Avenue is a skyscraper rising on East 60th Street, close to Park Avenue, in Manhattan's Upper East Side. Robert A.M. Stern Architects designed it, and it was completed in 2018. Standing 781 feet tall, it is the tallest building on the Upper East Side. Zeckendorf Development, through Arthur and William Lie Zeckendorf, developed the building, and financing came from The Children's Investment Fund, in the form of a US$450 million construction loan.
The architecture is New Classical, as in much of Stern's output, and limestone covers the exterior, as on his other New York skyscrapers 220 Central Park South, 30 Park Place and 15 Central Park West. Arthur Zeckendorf has likened it to 15 Central Park West, calling it that building's East Side sister. It holds 35 apartments, and its amenities include wine cellars, a swimming pool, a bi-level fitness center, a private movie theater and a garden.
Planning by the developers started back in 2006, but they were held up by difficulty vacating the earlier commercial building on the site. Plans were first announced in December 2012, when Robert A.M. Stern Architects was chosen. Soon after, the developers bought air rights of 70,000 square feet, or 6,500 square meters, from neighbors Christ Church United Methodist and the Grolier Club. The design was formally unveiled in March 2014.

- Very slim tower
- The tower is tall and slim, with a stepped, detailed crown. Print friendly adapts the smallest crown details to the print scale. Printing slowly and using layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keeps the crown crisp.
- One piece with the ground
- 520 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. 520 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.
