About 712 Fifth Avenue
At the corner of 56th Street and Fifth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan rises 712 Fifth Avenue, a skyscraper 200 m (650 ft) tall. Construction ran from 1987 to 1990 to a design by two firms, SLCE Architects and Kohn Pedersen Fox. Planning goes back to 1983, but people objected to demolishing historic buildings on the site, which delayed the project by several years.
Two older structures were folded into the base. One is the Coty Building (714 Fifth Avenue); the other is the Rizzoli Bookstore building at number 712. New York City has designated both as landmarks. Their facades are preserved at the base, and a copy of a facade was added at number 716 to match them.
On the tower stories, the facade combines white marble and gray limestone with granite in green and black. Offices average 700 m2 (7,500 square feet) per floor. Writers on architecture, including Paul Goldberger and Christopher Gray, offered both praise and criticism for how the new tower sits beside the old buildings. In 1999 the Paramount Group bought it for $285 million, which was a record price at that time.
