One Vanderbilt by James von Klemperer of KPF
[Architecture] One Vanderbilt, Midtown NYs newest and tallest office tower, is linked at grade and underground to Grand Central Terminal. The facade of this 93 story tower is intended to harmonize with Grand Central Terminal immediately to the east. The building's base is articulated as a series of diagonals, and the tower tapers as it rises, culminating in a pinnacle formed by four converging volumes.
