425 Fifth Avenue
425 Fifth Avenue is a 618-foot (188-meter) residential skyscraper at 38th Street and Fifth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. It was developed by RFR Davis and designed by Michael Graves. It has 55 floors and 197 units. The building uses air rights from two small adjoining buildings and a zoning bonus for providing a public plaza to maximize its floor area. As of July 2016, it is the 96th-tallest building in New York City.
The building's site was originally home to a 5-story structure known as the Siebrecht Building which was home to Pierre Abraham Lorillard. Construction started in late 1999. The original architect of the project was Robert A. M. Stern, who was replaced by Michael Graves in 2001. The building topped-out in April 2002, and was opened that September.
