@ali_marconi A new chapter for one of New York City’s most iconic skyscrapers. 🏙️ The Chrysler Building, an Art Deco masterpiece since 1930, is preparing for a major transformation. Tishman Speyer has finalized a 150-year ground lease with Cooper Union, including a $235 million investment to restore and reimagine the historic landmark. Plans include restoring its legendary stainless-steel crown and façade, modernizing office spaces, and transforming the 61st floor into an exclusive indoor-outdoor lounge overlooking Manhattan. The deal also supports Cooper Union’s mission to restore full tuition scholarships for its undergraduate students. Nearly a century after it first reshaped the New York skyline, the Chrysler Building is getting ready for its next era. #chryslerbuilding #nycarchitecture #newyorkrealestate #tishmanspeyer #artdeco
