The Crystal Pavilion, located at 805 Third Avenue in the Plaza District of Midtown Manhattan, is the quintessential 1980s glass tower. Designed by Emery Roth & Sons, the building was completed in 1982 and sits conveniently on the southeast corner of Third Avenue and 50th Street. Offering 525,000 square feet of Class A office space, the most desirable upper floors overlook fabulous views of the East River and Midtown Manhattan.
An impressive three-story atrium includes 36,000 square feet of shopping and dining with gleaming, massive metal pillars flanking the dramatic escalators. Ample plants introduce greenery into the atrium with a soothing water feature creating an interesting contrast to the combination of stainless steel, glass, and granite finishes. However, it is Christian Eckhart’s 5,000-pound aluminum steel sculpture suspended above a grand piano that sets the tone for this modern gem. The mezzanine level overlooks the lower floors, where ample tables and chairs welcome lunching tenants.
The recent renovations in 2019 revamped the lobby, common areas, and corridors, standing up to the discerning tastes of its typical tenants. Upgrades include 24/7 tenant access and on-site building security with accessible dining at The Chick Shop, Hokey Poke, and Gyu- Kaku Japanese BBQ. Madison Jewelers, Bona Vinos, and Alterations Dot Com Tailor Shop are a few of the exceptional retailers onsite. There’s also a Staples just down the street.
805 Third is also close to high-end accommodations at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel and the edgy Pod 51, known for its rooftop deck. Dining and shopping are always world-class in the Plaza District, including trendy spots like The Smith and 212 Steakhouse. Treats from the Éclair Bakery are a local favorite. Easy access to transportation is the final attraction for tenants headquartered at the Crystal Pavilion.
