200 Park Avenue, commonly referred to as the MetLife Building, is a classic 58-story asset centrally located in the core of Midtown Manhattan's prestigious office submarket, between Grand Central Terminal and East 45th Street. 200 Park Avenue comprises over 3 million square feet of office and retail space, with an adjacent four-level parking garage. Originally planned as a reconstruction project in conjunction with a Grand Central Terminal renovation, Erwin S. Wolfson developed the project in the early 1960s with the assistance of the architects Emery Roth & Sons, Walter Gropius and Pietro Belluschi. Known as the Pan Am Building beginning in 1963, the property was purchased by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) in 1981 and its designation changed to The MetLife Building by early 1993. Tishman Speyer acquired the building from MetLife in 2005. The iconic signage atop the tower measures 22 x 22 feet, with the two upper-case characters weighing an astonishing 4,000 pounds apiece, and was updated with new font and logos in 2017.
