Building Details
The Chanin Building gives tenants a landmark East 42nd Street address at the gateway to Grand Central. Its Art Deco profile, limestone and brick facade, and prominent Lexington Avenue corner make it one of the most recognizable office buildings in the Grand Central submarket.
Completed in 1929, the building was designed by Sloan & Robertson and developed by Irwin S. Chanin. The tower pairs historic architectural character with a large Midtown office program, creating a distinctive option for companies that want a classic New York identity close to commuter rail and subway service.
Office users benefit from the scale of a full-block commercial setting without losing the convenience of a highly walkable East Midtown location. The surrounding streets offer quick access to hotels, restaurants, banking, professional services and daily retail along 42nd Street, Lexington Avenue and Vanderbilt Avenue.
For tenants comparing Grand Central office space, 122 East 42nd Street works well for teams that value transit access, building recognition and a traditional Midtown office environment. Noah & Co. can help confirm current suite sizes, buildout condition and timing.
