888 Seventh Avenue is a 628 ft (191m) tall modern-style office[2] skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan which was completed in 1969[3] and has 46 floors.[4] Emery Roth & Sons designed the building. 888 Seventh Avenue is L-shaped in plan, with wings extending north to 57th Street and east to Seventh Avenue, around the adjacent Rodin Studios.[5] It currently carries the Vornado Realty Trust corporate headquarters. Previously known as the Arlen Building, it had been named for the company responsible for its construction, Arlen Realty & Development Corporation.[6] The Red Eye Grill is located in the building at street level.
Moed de Armas renovated the Lobby, Elevators & Plaza in 2006, cladding them with white marble. The HVAC was also extensively renovated and the building was later given gold certification by the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.[7]
The building is assigned its own ZIP Code, 10106; it was one of 41 buildings in Manhattan that had their own ZIP Codes as of 2019[update].[8]
