The other stories are used as office space.ĭuring the 1980s and 1990s, the city and state governments of New York proposed a merchandise mart for the site as part of a wide-ranging redevelopment of Times Square. The lower stories have a lobby, retail space, and the Times newsroom surrounding an enclosed garden. The New York Times Building is designed as a green building. The steel framing and bracing is exposed at the four corner "notches" of the building. Its facade is largely composed of a glass curtain wall, in front of which are ceramic rods that deflect heat and glare. It consists of the office tower on the west side of the land lot as well as four-story podium on the east side. The building is cruciform in plan and has a steel-framed superstructure with a braced mechanical core. As of 2018, the New York Times Building is tied with the Chrysler Building as the eleventh-tallest building in the city. The interiors are divided into separate ownership units, with the Times Company operating the lower office floors and Brookfield Properties operating the upper floors. Designed by Renzo Piano and Fox & Fowle, the building was developed by the New York Times Company, Forest City Ratner, and ING Real Estate. The building is 1,046 ft (318.8 m) tall to its pinnacle, with a roof height of 748 ft (228 m). Its chief tenant is The New York Times Company, publisher of The New York Times. The New York Times Building is a 52-story skyscraper at 620 Eighth Avenue, between 40th and 41st Streets, on the west side of Midtown Manhattan in New York City.
