One Vanderbilt is a 67-floor supertall skyscraper the corner 42nd Street and Vanderbilt Avenue the Midtown Manhattan neighborhood New York City. Proposed New York City mayor Bill de Blasio and developer SL Green Realty as part a planned Midtown East rezoning the early 2010s, the tower stands immediately west Grand Central Terminal.

The 1.6-million-square-foot (150,000 m2) skyscraper's roof is 1,301 feet (397 m) high and its spire is 1,401 feet (427 m), making it the city's fourth-tallest building One World Trade Center and the under-construction Central Park Tower and 111 West 57th Street.


Grand Central subway improvements

One Vanderbilt's construction included improvements that would provide extra capacity over 65,000 passengers going into the New York City Subway Grand Central–42nd Street. The improvements included an underground connection Grand Central Terminal and One Vanderbilt; new mezzanines and exits the subway station, including an entrance directly the 42nd Street Shuttle platforms; three new stairways to each the Lexington Avenue Line platforms (along the 4, 5, 6, and <6> trains); reconfiguration of columns supporting the nearby Grand Hyatt New York hotel. The project also includes a waiting room a new terminal under Grand Central, which is being built for the Long Island Rail Road part of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA)'s East Side Access project. This would directly result additional capacity for the station, since 4,000 to 6,000 more subway passengers per hour would be able to use it. These improvements would cost $200 million. Additionally, Vanderbilt Avenue 42nd and 43rd Streets would become pedestrian-only.

The MTA mandated the station improvements exchange allowing the tower's construction. 2015, SL Green gave $220 million toward the building's construction, which two-thirds would be used for station redesign, marking the largest private investment in the subway system date. The new subway entrance opened December 9th, 2020
