Inspired by both its proximity to the High Line and our pursuit of biophilic design, 510 West 22nd Street provides maximum visual and physical connection to the landscaped environment of the High Line and views of the Hudson River beyond. Designed to achieve a LEED Platinum rating and offer an office environment unlike any other, 510 West 22nd Street sets new standards of health and productivity in the modern workplace.

A glass-enclosed lobby captures natural light from the High Line above and offers tenants and visitors a view of the ground level garden as they approach the elevator banks. Relating to the park’s infrastructure, the glass curtain wall is interspersed with structural elements in dark charcoal metal and all terraces feature natural wood ceilings that recall the plantings and wood benches below. The rooftop garden further enhances the connection to the surrounding natural environment with mobile planters installed on tracks that resemble the High Line’s original train tracks as well as the rolling chaise lounges in place in the park today.

Taking cues from the way the High Line has artfully woven a dynamic green corridor into the surrounding urban infrastructure, 510 West 22nd Street features over 15,000 square feet of outdoor space for office tenants’ use. In particular, landscaped terraces cut into the building profile on the second and a seventh floors offer intimate views of the landscape and trees along the High Line as well as views of the Midtown Manhattan skyline beyond.
