277 Park Avenue
277 Park Avenue is an office building in New York City and currently houses parts of JPMorgan Chase's Investment Bank, Commercial Bank, and other corporate functions. JP Morgan's takeover of Bear Stearns in 2008 resulted in most investment banking employees moving to 383 Madison Avenue to reduce the leased real estate footprint in Midtown Manhattan.
Previous tenants have included Penthouse Magazine, Schlumberger, Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette[1], Continental Grain Company and Chemical Bank (Predecessor to today's JPMorgan Chase). The office building opened on July 13, 1964.[2] An apartment building designed by McKim, Mead, and White previously occupied the site.[3]
It stands at 687 feet (209 m) tall, with 50 floors.[4]
