Postwar Park Avenue: Modernism and the Market
MdeAS Managing Partner, Dan Shannon, will give a presentation on Postwar Park Avenue at the Skyscraper Museum on Tuesday, June 16 @ 6:00pm. He will explain the major issues postwar glass boxes have faced and how owners seek to update their aging curtain walls, lobbies, and mechanical systems to compete in the current market. He will also discuss the economic influence on the tower as a typology, and how some emerging modernists held to traditional elements while others became fully modern.
“Enterprises continue to choose modern buildings that reflect progressive ideals, technical excellence, and precise innovation.”
Over the past 35 years, MdeAS has rejuvenated a large portfolio of postwar buildings on the Park Avenue corridor. The presentation will highlight 90 Park Avenue for Vornado Realty Trust; 100 Park Avenue for SL Green Realty Corp.; 200 Park Avenue for Tishman Speyer and Irvine Company; 237 Park Avenue for RXR; and 430 Park Avenue for Midwood Investment & Development.
The event will be held in person at the Skyscraper Museum as well as live-streamed on their YouTube channel.
