Overview
- The 60-story Foster + Partners tower opened in late October after a multiyear build, establishing JPMorgan Chase’s global headquarters in Midtown Manhattan.
- Michael Dell posted a photo of the new trading floor that has drawn more than 17 million views, with many commenters criticizing the multi-monitor rows as “dystopian.”
- JPMorgan is enforcing full-time in-office work this year, a stance CEO Jamie Dimon has defended, while employees have circulated petitions and explored unionization for more flexibility.
- The headquarters emphasizes on-site experience with a Danny Meyer–curated food hall, cafes and a pub, a gym and wellness spaces, outdoor terraces, and circadian lighting.
- Project teams present the tower as New York’s largest all-electric high-rise targeting net-zero operations and LEED/WELL certifications, and its construction followed the protested demolition of the 1960 Union Carbide building with most materials reportedly recycled.
