Positioned between NoMad and Murray Hill, 62-64 East 34th Street is ideally located near many local transportation options including Grand Central Terminal, Pennsylvania Station, and even the East 34th Street Heliport. Furthermore, the 33rd Street subway station is one block away and is serviced by the 6 train. In addition to convenient transportation options, the surrounding area benefits from a vibrant streetscape due to a rich diversity of uses including Madison Square Garden, luxury condominiums, state of the art hotels, office towers, and premier shopping options. With very few development opportunities on 34th Street, the offering presents an incredible rare opportunity to develop a new building that will neighbor some of the most iconic buildings in New York City.
