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.

✕

  • Potential conflict of interest (often represent landlords).

  • 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?
Landlord Rep (Listing Agent) — Fiduciary Duty: Landlord. Highest rent, best terms for landlord.
Tenant Rep (Tenant Broker) — Fiduciary Duty: Tenant Only. Lowest rent, best terms for tenant. Levels the playing field.
2. It Almost Always Costs You Nothing
3. Access to “Hidden” Inventory
4. Negotiating Beyond Base Rent
Landlord pays the broker fee — free expert representation for the tenant.
Access to hidden inventory: off-market listings, subleases, and future availabilities via broker databases and networks.
Negotiating beyond base rent: free rent, TI allowance, OPEX caps, and lease flexibility for renewal or expansion.
5. Time Savings & Process Management
6. Mitigating Risk (the “Gotchas”)
Tenant broker handles searching, scheduling, and RFPs — your outsourced real estate department with curated options and timeline management.
Mitigating risk: spotting pitfalls in LOI and lease such as restoration clauses and holdover penalties.
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.
