In case you continue to had any lingering doubts about plans for a new skyscraper at 350 Park Ave.:
Banker Steel, based mostly in Lynchburg, Va., is fabricating 50,000 tons of structural metal for the tower. It isn’t one thing you possibly can simply set apart for a wet day.
Two of Ken Griffin’s corporations will likely be 350 Park Ave.’s anchor tenants. jkohrs
Demolition of older buildings on Park Avenue and East 52nd Street is underway for the 62-story, 1469-foot tall cloudbuster to be accomplished in 2032. The development crew consists of Citadel founder Ken Griffin, Vornado Realty Trust and the Rudin group.
Two of Griffin’s corporations, Citadel and Citadel Securities, are the anchor tenants with about half of the $4.5 billion tower’s 1.8 million sq. ft. Foster + Partners is the architect of file.
Vornado chairman Steven Roth mentioned on the firm’s second-quarter earnings call earlier this month that work is continuing on schedule and he expects the joint-venture partnership deal to close in September. Roth famous he had a $3.3 billion construction loan “ready to go.”

Questions have been raised about Griffin’s dedication after Mayor Zohran Mamdani took a low-cost shot at him in April over Griffin’s possession of a $200 million condominium. Some observers suspected it was a deliberate step by Mamdani to chase Griffin out of city and sabotage the tower project.
But Griffin and his companions sensibly shrugged off the insult.
