JPMorgan Opens 60-Story All‑Electric Headquarters on Park Avenue

The opening signals JPMorgan’s bet that a showcase workplace can anchor New York’s office recovery.

Overview

  • JPMorgan and Gov. Kathy Hochul held a ribbon-cutting at 270 Park Avenue, with the bank targeting roughly 10,000 daily occupants by the end of 2025.
  • The 2.5 million-square-foot tower, designed by Foster + Partners, features an 80-foot lifted base with fan columns, a triple-height Exchange hub, and eight trading floors.
  • The building is all-electric and powered by upstate hydroelectricity, with 97% of demolition materials recycled as it seeks LEED Platinum and WELL ratings.
  • Amenities and technology—including a 19-restaurant food hall curated by Danny Meyer, a pub, wellness spaces, biometric access, and a workplace app—are positioned to attract and retain talent.
  • Reports differ on the price tag, with most citing about $3 billion while Jamie Dimon said about $4 billion, and the bank plans to begin renovating 383 Madison next.
