Property Overview

.

Fifth Avenue, located in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, is a prominent property that blends historical significance with modern architecture. It consists of two primary sections: the Knox Building and the HSBC Tower.

The Knox Building, a 10-story Beaux-Arts masterpiece, was completed in 1902 and designed by architect John H. Duncan. Built for Edward M. Knox of the Knox Hat Company, it remains a symbol of early 20th-century craftsmanship. Recognized for its architectural and historical value, the building is both a New York City designated landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

In 1964, the Knox family sold the property to a group that established the Republic National Bank of New York, which made it their headquarters. While the bank preserved much of the building’s exterior, they removed the original mezzanine level.

Adjacent to the Knox Building is the HSBC Tower, a 29-story postmodern skyscraper designed by Eli Attia and completed in 1985. This contemporary addition wraps around the historic structure, maintaining its façade while providing expanded office space. The tower was part of Republic National Bank’s growth strategy before being acquired by HSBC.

Today, Fifth Avenue stands as a distinctive landmark, combining classical and modern architectural styles. Positioned in Midtown’s Grand Central office submarket, the property faces Bryant Park, offering a prestigious address in the heart of the city.

This LEED Gold-certified, Class A office building spans 865,339 square feet of net rentable area, including multi-level retail spaces. It comprises four interconnected structures, with the historic Knox Building anchoring the corner of Fifth Avenue and 40th Street. The property is currently 95.16% leased, serving a mix of office and retail tenants.
