The centerpiece of Fisher Brothers’ reimagining of 605 Third Avenue was the creation of a brand new building entrance and lobby, designed by award-winning architect David Rockwell and the Rockwell Group. The entrance of the building was extended out onto the plaza which allowed it to create a more spacious and inviting lobby, including a custom-designed, circular reception desk, a feature wall composed of brass panels and a sleek white ceiling with LED backlighting.
“605 Third Avenue continues to attract a wide range of companies that are drawn to its great Midtown location and unique blend of corporate and cutting edge features as embodied by the renovation. We are pleased to welcome Valerie Wilson Travel to our esteemed tenant roster,” said Fisher Brothers Partner Ken Fisher.
Located between 39th and 40th Streets and in close proximity to Grand Central Terminal and the United Nations, 605 Third Avenue’s prestigious roster of tenants includes Univision, AECOM, Davidoff Hutcher & Citron LLP, Jones Day, Katsy Korins LLP, and the United Nations Population Fund.
