About The New York Times Building
The New York Times Building sits at 620 Eighth Avenue, one block west of Times Square, between 40th and 41st Streets in western Midtown Manhattan. Fifty-two stories tall, it has the New York Times Company, which publishes The New York Times, as its chief tenant. Its mast reaches 318.8 m (1,046 ft), while the roof stands 228 m (748 ft) above the street. Renzo Piano and Fox & Fowle were its architects, and the developers were the New York Times Company, ING Real Estate and Forest City Ratner. The project was Renzo Piano's first in New York City.
The plan is cruciform. The structure is steel-framed and has a braced mechanical core. The tower is in the western part of the lot, while a podium of four stories occupies the east. Ceramic rods stand in front of a mostly glass curtain wall, deflecting heat and glare, and steel framing and bracing show at the four corner notches. It was designed to be a green building. The lower stories hold the lobby, shops and the Times newsroom, arranged around an enclosed garden.
New York's city and state governments put forward a merchandise mart for the site in the 1980s and 1990s, as one piece of a sweeping Times Square redevelopment. The New York Times Company came forward in 1999 offering to develop its new headquarters there. A design competition chose Piano and Fox & Fowle as the architects. After disputes with existing landowners, the land was acquired in 2003. Completed in 2007, the building cost over $1 billion. The facade carries about 186,000 ceramic rods that the architects called "baguettes," spaced farther apart toward the top.
