350 Park Avenue advances the goals of the Greater East Midtown rezoning, delivering a landmark office tower and enhanced public realm in the heart of Midtown. The project will contribute a combined $150 million for the maintenance of St. Patrick’s Cathedral and Saint Bartholomew’s Church through the purchase of development rights. Additionally, it will provide more than $35 million for the city’s East Midtown Public Realm Improvement Fund. 350 Park was approved through New York City's Uniform Land Use Review Procedure in September 2025.
