The Class-A, 458,446 s/f office tower is undergoing a multimillion-dollar capital improvement program to create a contemporary destination. The improvement program includes a thorough rejuvenation of the lobby and atrium, and the addition of a new amenity center focused around addressing tenant health and wellness. The lobby renovations were designed by Pei Cobb Freed & Partners and the amenity center is being designed by MKDA New York. Construction has already begun on the amenity center and atrium and Kamber is finalizing construction on the lobby renovation project.

The 40-story building was designed by Swanke Hayden Connell Architects and constructed in 1988. The building features AtmosAir, the world-class air purification system, along with a tenant-controlled cooling system for individual rooms, state-of-the-art security management and expertly trained professionals.

“Kamber Management Company is forward-thinking property owner that has positioned this building to support tenants in employee attraction and retention,” said Young. “The leasing momentum in the property confirms that tenants are responding to high-quality spaces with significant amenity packages.”

“The new amenity center at Tower 45 is designed to offer safe, private areas for calls, meetings and reflection,” said Biasotti. “The building prioritizes tenant health while offering easy access to neighborhood amenities such as restaurants, shops and entertainment.”

Steven Levy, president of Kamber Management Company said, “We have new art and sculpture coming to the Atrium and Lobby this spring to enhance our tenants’ experience and the overall beauty of the entrance. Our flexible, efficient floor plates with plenty of light and the cleanest air, provide creative space solutions for a better, healthier workplace. The entire Kamber team is excited to offer our tenants the best in New York City work environments.”
