A significant repositioning, Two Bryant Park (also known as 1100 Avenue of the Americas) reflects its unique location at the corner of Bryant Park and Sixth Avenue. The redevelopment utilizes cutting-edge technology to completely revitalize the building’s curtainwall, interior, and public plaza. By relocating the lobby to 42nd Street the building now faces Bryant Park and provides a through-block connection to Grace Plaza.
Defined by a contrasting material palette that complements the natural and built environments, the lobby underwent major structural modifications in order to become a double-height space, maximizing natural light and civic monumentality. New landscaping, seating, and retail storefronts transform Grace Plaza and the base of the building to establish an urban landscape worthy of its location.
