Building on its reputation as the first green skyscraper in the country, One Five One West 42nd St. achieved LEED Gold certification under LEED v4 Existing Buildings: Operations + Maintenance. This accomplishment is a direct result of a $150 million-plus capital improvement program which included: new entrances, a lobby renovation, new destination dispatch controls and elevators cabs, enhanced building automation and temperature control systems, and demand-controlled ventilation through sensors installed in each air handling unit. Additionally, Durst rolled out its new amenity brand, Well&, on the fourth floor of the building. The 45,600 s/f amenity includes conference and meeting rooms powered by Convene and WellPlated, an artisanal food hall located in the reimagined Frank Gehry cafeteria and curated by Michelin Star restaurateur Claus Meyer.
“We are thrilled to have Vevo as a direct tenant and NCC expand at One Five One,” said Jonathan Durst, president of The Durst Org. “The building’s central location provides convenient access to mass transit and is only a block from one of New York City’s prized parks, Bryant Park. Our recent $150 million capital improvement distinguishes 151 from the market with a new amenity floor with meeting and conference rooms, a coffee and wine bar, artisanal food hall, and an array of programming such as fitness and baking classes, guest speakers and trivia nights for our tenants to enjoy and mingle with their office community.”
