What is your favorite building in New York? The Chrysler Building holds a special place in my heart. Before founding RCG, my office overlooked it. From rural Ireland, where I saw the city in movies, to now looking at it over my desk, I sometimes had to pinch myself. Additionally, I love it because you get a perfect view from our newly finished American Express Lounge in One Vanderbilt, a project RCG is extremely proud of.
