626 First Ave Property Overview

Building Address: 626 First Ave, New York NY 10016
Building Name: American Copper Buildings
Zip Code:10016
Neighborhood:Murray Hill
Borough:Manhattan
Stories:0
Year Built:2017
Building Class:A

The Copper, formerly known as American Copper Buildings, are located at 626 First Avenue in Manhattan's Murray Hill neighborhood. The site was originally a lot hosting the Consolidated Edison Kips Bay Generating Station and was part of a large redevelopment plan by Sheldon Solow, designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. This plan included a seven-tower complex with a park and a public school. However, Solow sold the land to JDS and Largo in 2013, leading to the construction of a twin-tower structure, which was designed by SHoP Architects.

Construction began in mid-2014, with copper cladding applied starting in mid-2015. The towers topped out in late 2015 and early 2016, and a skybridge connecting them was installed in January 2016. The skybridge spans three floors and features a bar, lounge, a 75-foot lap pool, yoga studio, catering kitchen, juice and health bar, and a fitness center with climbing wall. The building officially opened in 2017.

The Copper consists of two undulating copper-clad towers, each part of a 48-story structure with 761 residences. The neighborhood of Murray Hill has a rich history, named after a prominent merchant Robert Murray, who built an estate known as Inclenburg in the area during the mid-1700s.

626 First Avenue, known as The Copper, is a luxury residential building located in the Murray Hill neighborhood of Manhattan, NYC. It features two copper-clad towers connected by a striking skybridge. The building offers a range of amenities across 60,000 square feet and boasts high-end appliances in its units. It was developed on the site of a former power plant, transforming the East River waterfront with its modern design since its completion in 2017.

Abrams Garfinkel & Rosen Testimonial

Abrams Garfinkel & Rosen testimonial Dear Stephen: On behalf of my partners and myself, I want to thank you for your representation, assistance and support in connection with our search for new office space. We have worked with many brokers over the last eighteen months, but you were the only one who truly listened and tried to understand what our requirements, limitations and needs were. As a result of your diligence and persistence, we have been able to sign a lease for a space that meets all of our physical, aesthetic and economic criteria. You have done an excellent job on our behalf, and we are truly appreciative. Please feel free to share this letter with any of your potential clients, as we would wholeheartedly recommend your services to others. Once again, thank you for everything. Sincerely, Neil B. Garfinkel

Tenant Representation: Optimal Spaces acts exclusively as a "Tenant Broker," only representing tenants, never landlords.
⚖️
Unbiased Service: Avoiding conflicts of interest, they provide impartial service, showing a wider range of properties and negotiating the best price.
🗂️
Comprehensive Process: Agents guide clients end-to-end, offering market surveys, floor plans, pricing expectations, and industry contacts.
🐷
Cost Savings: They negotiate rental price and identify/abate "hidden costs."

Why Optimal Spaces –
Tenant Broker

  • No fee for clients renting space.
  • We work for YOU, not the landlord.
  • Save 15–20% on your business costs.
  • Save 100–200 hours of research.
  • Access to all available spaces.
  • Specialized real estate expertise.

Alone or with other broker

  • Miss deals and hard-to-find spaces.
  • Potential conflict of interest (often represent landlords).
  • Only 10% of available spaces are online.
  • Lack of specialized expertise.
  • May not get the best terms or uncover hidden costs.
Why Use a Tenant Broker: Your Advocate in Commercial Real Estate
1. The Crucial Distinction: Whose Side Are They On?
2. It Almost Always Costs You Nothing
3. Access to “Hidden” Inventory
4. Negotiating Beyond Base Rent
5. Time Savings & Process Management
6. Mitigating Risk (the “Gotchas”)
Summary: Don’t rely on the landlord’s agent. A tenant broker is your advocate, provides better data, negotiates a complete package, and typically costs you nothing.
