Overview

The Farley Building, the former 1912 James A. Farley Post Office, has undergone a complete transformation to become New York City's best-in-class creative office hub. This adaptive reuse of an iconic civic building designed by McKim, Mead and White, famed architects of original Penn Station, features 740,000 square feet of office space, 120,000 square feet of curated retail and new majestic train hall. This horizontal campus is located in the center of New York's Midtown West submarket on top of the busiest transportation hub in the country with nearly every NYC subway line, Amtrak, LIRR and NJ Transit directly accessible from the building. The Farley Building features large, open floorplates to foster collaboration and innovation, slab heights of over 17 feet, 40' x 32' column spacing, and multiple office lobbies. The Fifth Floor contains nearly 70,000 square feet of outdoor landscaped park space to inspire the building's tenants to interact with nature and encouraging movement, wellness and fitness. In addition, a 6,000 square foot, column-free glass pavilion located on the Fifth Floor features 25 foot ceilings and glass walls that open to the building's outdoor green space.
