Take a look at the views from the second-tallest office building in New York City, the newly opened One Vanderbilt
  • One Vanderbilt was unveiled on Monday as New York City's newest skyscraper.
  • Standing at 1,401 feet tall, the building will be the second-tallest commercial office building in the Big Apple.
  • One Vanderbilt is roughly 70% leased at the moment, and will be home to a handful of firms in the legal, banking, and finance industries.

New York City's newest skyscraper, One Vanderbilt, was unveiled on Monday in the Midtown East neighborhood of Manhattan.

On Monday, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio arrived at One Vanderbilt's headquarters to cut the ribbon in the opening ceremony. The office building stands at 1,401 feel tall, making it the second-tallest building in the city, and is listed at 1.7 million square feet.

The office building is going to interconnect with Grand Central Terminal and features a public plaza that will provide patrons with access to subway platforms as well as the Long Island and Metro North Railroads. This is going to complement the development of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's 42 St Connection Project.

The new building's amenities include ceilings up to 24 feet tall, 360-degree views overlooking the city with floor-to-ceiling windows, and an 11,000 square-foot restaurant. Perhaps the most notable amenity is a 30,000-square-foot floor, exclusive to tenants, that will feature a club-style lounge and space to hold business meetings.

The office building is roughly 70% leased at the moment, and will be home to a handful of firms in the legal, banking and finance industries. This includes law firms such as Greenberg Traurig and McDermott Will & Emery, banks such as TD Bank and TD Securities, and a handful of private equity firms like Oak Hill Advisors and Sentinel Capital Partners.
