The SUMMIT Story

Anchoring the modernization of Manhattan, One Vanderbilt shines like a beacon to the world with its iconic shape setting a new standard for architecture in New York. Measuring 1,401 feet tall, One Vanderbilt is the tallest commercial skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan and among the top 30 tallest buildings in the world.
SUMMIT One Vanderbilt was conceived as an NYC immersive art experience that compels you to question your perception of the built environment, the natural world around you, and your sensorial reality.

Construction of One Vanderbilt, an iconic glass building in Manhattan, included New York City’s largest continuous concrete pour, totaling 4,200 cubic yards over a period of 18 hours.

The tuned mass damper, installed in the crown of the NYC skyline building to reduce vibrations and swaying, weighs 10 tons.

SUMMIT’s Ascent is the highest rack-and-pinion elevator system in the world, and at 90 square feet each, the largest glass floor elevators in the world.

100% of NYC building construction was completed with union labor.
