About the Building

One Grand Central Place, located at 60 East 42nd Street, is a prominent Midtown Manhattan office tower positioned directly across from Grand Central Terminal at the base of Vanderbilt Avenue. The building offers companies an exceptionally convenient Grand Central location together with large, efficient office floors, upgraded building systems, and direct access to one of New York City’s most important transportation hubs.
The property has undergone extensive modernization, including upgrades to its windows, elevators, plumbing, HVAC, security systems, and lobby. These improvements have helped reposition the building for contemporary office users while preserving the scale and presence of a classic Midtown commercial tower. Tenants also benefit from a visitor center, tenants-only conference center, convenience retail, and multiple in-building dining options.

Office floors are capable of accommodating a wide range of layouts, from dense open-plan environments to configurations with substantial private-office and meeting-room components. A representative partial-floor installation includes 94 workstations, 15 perimeter offices, one 12-person conference room, two 8-person conference rooms, one 7-person team room, three large breakout rooms, a reception area, and pantry. Existing spaces can also feature polished concrete floors, open finished ceilings, glass-fronted offices, and modern furniture systems.

The building is particularly attractive to financial services firms, law firms, consulting companies, technology businesses, and other organizations that prioritize access to Grand Central. Its location between Park and Madison Avenues places tenants within immediate reach of Midtown East’s restaurants, hotels, corporate headquarters, and professional services.

Transportation is one of the property’s defining advantages. Grand Central Terminal is directly across 42nd Street, providing access to the 4, 5, 6, 7, and S subway lines, Metro-North Railroad, and Long Island Rail Road service through Grand Central Madison.
