350 Park Avenue is a planned supertall office tower in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, designed by Foster + Partners[1] and developed by Vornado Realty Trust and Rudin Management.[2]

Citadel LLC, and an associated entity, Citadel Securities, have committed to act as anchor tenants.[3] The firm is also involved in the development and design of the building.[3] Citadel leased space in the building currently on the site.[4]

If built as proposed, the building will have 62 stories, and be approximately 1,413-foot-tall (431 m) in height. Plans call for 1,800,000 square feet (170,000 m2) of commercial office space, of which Citadel will occupy approximately 850,000 square feet (79,000 m2).[5] The proposal also includes the construction of a 12,500-square-foot public concourse fronting onto Park Avenue and a contribution of over $35.8 million for the city's East Midtown Public Realm Improvement Fund, as part of its public-private agreement in conjunction with the City of New York.[5]

Vornado Realty Trust's initial proposal for a skyscraper at 350 Park Avenue was first revealed in 2019 through a marketing brochure.[6] The Foster + Partners design featuring angular, glass-curtain wall facades and twin spires that would reach an estimated height of almost 1,500 feet (460 m).[6]

In January 2023, Bloomberg reported that the hedge fund Citadel planned to build a tower at the site, with a height of roughly 1,350 feet (410 m) over 51 floors and containing 1,700,000 square feet (160,000 m2) of commercial space, of which Citadel planned to occupy 54%.[7] The plan involved a new design for the tower, also by Foster + Partners, featuring seven outdoor terraces. Eric Adams, then mayor of New York City, revealed details and renderings of the proposal at a meeting of the Association for a Better New York in April 2024.[3][8] This design called for a revised height of 1,413 feet (431 m) and 62 stories.[9][10] To permit the additional height, Citadel and Rudin Management would acquire development rights from the nearby St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church and St. Patrick's Cathedral.[10]

Ken Griffin of Citadel submitted plans for 350 Park Avenue to the New York City Department of Buildings in January 2025.[11] The next month, the city started the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure process for the building.[12][13] After the New York City Council approved the development that October,[14][15] Vornado applied for construction permits the next month.[16]
