Brokers attend event at Zeckendorf Development's 520 Park Ave. project

Manhattan, NY A select number of the city's high-end real estate brokers were among the first to step into 520 Park Avenue at an event hosted by Zeckendorf Development on July 13^th, 2016. Held on the 29^th floor concrete slab of the tower’s construction site, the event marked the first time 520 Park Ave. has been open to guests from the real estate brokerage community. Brokers had the opportunity to walk around the full-floor simplex and experience the views of the Upper East Side Historic District and Central Park in full bloom from its 85 ft. frontage. Once completed the simplexes will offer over 225 feet of exterior perimeter windows. Brokers entered the building from Park Ave., passing by 520 Park Ave.’s historic neighbor - the Grolier Club. Each guest received a 520 Park Ave. hardhat before taking the construction hoist up 350 ft. Located at East 60^th St. between Park and Madison Aves., 520 Park Ave. has now reached 40% of its final height. The 800-ft. tall tower designed by Robert A.M. Stern will become one of the tallest and most luxurious buildings on the historic Upper East Side. Offering 33 full-floor residences, 520 Park Ave. set a new standard for elegant living on the Upper East Side. In the tradition established by 15 Central Park West, 520 Park Ave. will be entirely clad in Indiana limestone, articulated with hand-set stone detailing reminiscent of the great historic 20^th-century apartment houses but at heights that are truly modern. 520 Park Ave. is being developed by Zeckendorf Development, with Park Sixty LLC and Global Holdings. Construction is expected to be completed in early 2018.
