Office Building & Design
261 Fifth Avenue has an impeccably restored Art Deco lobby. Full floors in the base of the building are 19,389 square feet and taper to 13,504 square feet at the top. With three exposures there is a high window to floor area ratio. As a result, both office intensive and open landscape designs are bright, attractive and efficient.
