750 Seventh Avenue
750 Seventh Avenue is a 36-story office building in Midtown Manhattan, completed in 1989 and designed by Kevin Roche. The tower rises about 615 feet to its glass spire, with the main roof around the mid-400s to low 500s feet. It sits on the southern two-thirds of a city block on the north side of 49th Street between Broadway and Seventh Avenue, just north of Times Square.
The building has a dark glass exterior with 860 etched-glass panels and large on-building signs along Times Square. Its massing features setbacks that spiral around the tower, ending in a tall glass pinnacle that is lit at night. It was developed as a speculative project by Solomon Equities on the site where the Rivoli Theatre once stood.
Initial leasing was slow in the early 1990s. The first tenant, a law firm, moved in April 1990 but later went bankrupt, and the property was taken over by banks. Morgan Stanley bought 750 Seventh Avenue in 1994 for about $90 million and gradually filled the building as part of its Midtown campus. In 2000, Morgan Stanley sold the building to Hines Interests and the GM Pension Fund for about $150 million but continued to lease space. Fosterlane Management purchased the building in 2011 for about $485 million.
Today, the building houses a mix of tenants, including Ernst & Young, Mendes & Mount, Steptoe & Johnson, and Shinhan Bank (as of 2022). A Ruby Foo’s restaurant on the ground floor opened in 2000 but was replaced by Junior’s in 2016. The property has LEED Silver certification for its energy efficiency and features entrances linked to nearby subway lines: on the 49th Street side (N, R, W trains) and near the 50th Street entrance for the 1 train. The site remains part of the Theater District, with many Broadway theatres nearby.
