About 599 Lexington Avenue
In Midtown Manhattan stands 599 Lexington Avenue, a skyscraper with 50 stories and a height of 199 m (653 ft). The architects were Edward Larrabee Barnes and John MY Lee. It was the first New York City building put up by Mortimer Zuckerman, through his firm Boston Properties. The site cost $84 million in 1984, and the tower was completed in 1986. The building stands next to the Citigroup Center and is regarded as a well-designed fit with its surroundings. It was finished without an anchor tenant.
Inside, the lobby holds an artwork by Frank Stella titled Salto nel Mio Sacco. A subway entrance is part of the property too, leading to the New York City Subway station at Lexington Avenue and 51st Street, where a sloped glass canopy marks the entryway to the station. In 2016, a remodel by FXFowle Architects of the lobby, hallways and elevators aimed to light the artwork better and brighten the lobby.
