About 731 Lexington Avenue
731 Lexington Avenue is a mixed-use glass skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan's East Side, New York City. It opened in 2004 and is home to the headquarters of Bloomberg L.P., which is why it is sometimes informally called Bloomberg Tower. The building has 55 stories and a roof height of 246 meters (806 ft). It also has 105 luxury condominiums, along with restaurants and shops, and it stands where an Alexander's department store used to be.
César Pelli & Associates was the architect, and Vornado Realty Trust developed the building. Building work started in 2001, three years after demolition of the empty department store. It occupies a whole block bounded by Lexington and Third Avenues and by 58th and 59th Streets. Two towers sit on a steel base of offices and shops, with a seven-story atrium between them.
The residential section, One Beacon Court, has its own entrance. Its courtyard connects 58th and 59th Streets, and curved glass walls around the courtyard tilt slightly inward as they rise. The courtyard design took inspiration from Grand Central Terminal, the Rockefeller Center skating rink and the New York Public Library's reading room at its main branch.

- Thin spire on top
- A slim spire rises from the flat roof. Print slowly with good cooling, and use Print friendly to adapt it to the print scale.
- Stepped setbacks and window rows
- The shaft steps in at several levels and carries fine rows of windows. Layers of 0.12–0.16 mm keep them crisp, and a larger print keeps them distinct.
- One piece with the ground
- 731 Lexington 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. 731 Lexington 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.
