JPMorgan Chase Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon announced that it is building the Global Headquarters Tower (270 Park Avenue) in Midtown Manhattan, New York, designed by Foster + Partners with an investment of $4.04 billion, to be completed and commissioned in 2025, with a height of 423 meters, 60 floors, and a floor area of 2.5 million square feet (equivalent to 232,000 square meters) that can accommodate 14,000 employees.
Norman Foster, Founder and Executive Chairman of Foster + Partners, said: "270 Park Avenue will be a brand new landmark in New York. The unique design challenge was to respect the rhythm of Park Avenue and the unique streetscape while adapting to the important transport infrastructure of the city below. It's an elegant solution where architecture is structure and structure is architecture, embracing a new vision that will serve JPMorgan now and in the future. ”
Innovative fan-column structures and triangular supports use state-of-the-art structural systems to negotiate subsurface and ground-to-ground limits, enabling buildings to gently touch the ground throughout the block.
By elevating the building about 80 feet/24 meters, it extends the viewpoint from the Park Avenue entrance to Madison Avenue.
The top of the 60-story tower will design a world-class conference center that offers customers and staff unobstructed views of the city and dynamic activities.
In addition, 270 Park will be the largest all-electric skyscraper in New York City, with net zero carbon emissions and all of its energy coming from renewable energy from New York State's hydroelectric power plants.

Conclusion
The design concept and architectural volume of J.P. Morgan's Global Headquarters Tower, which is different from several other slender 400-meter super-tall projects in New York in recent years, will be a new benchmark for future office buildings.
