The Ford Foundation Building, located at 320 East 43rd Street in Manhattan, NYC, is a 12-story office building designed by architect Kevin Roche and his engineering partner John Dinkeloo in the late modernist style. Completed in 1968, it was one of the first projects by Roche-Dinkeloo after they took over Eero Saarinen's firm.

The building features a glass-and-steel cube supported by concrete piers clad with Dakota granite. It includes a large public atrium, designed by Dan Kiley, which was the first such space in a Manhattan office building. The atrium contains plants, shrubs, trees, and vines, and most offices are visible from other parts of the building.

The building was commissioned by the Ford Foundation, then the largest private foundation in the U.S., after Henry Heald became its president. It was constructed on the former site of the Hospital for the Ruptured and Crippled. Between 2015 and 2018, the building underwent a major renovation and was renamed the Ford Foundation Center for Social Justice. It was designated a New York City landmark in 1997.

We love a challenge!

Optimal Spaces can help you turn critical and complex real estate issues into opportunities for growth and or cost reduction. We offer the experience, know-how, and the strategic planning that helps lead to better decisions. Virtually everything you need to enhance the value of your business (for profit and not for profit) , you will find at Optimal Spaces.

About Optimal Spaces
Optimal Spaces are Tenant Brokers, only representing commercial tenants, not owners or landlords. By contrast, managing agents and most commercial brokers are "landlord agents" representing the interest of owners. Their goal is to market and lease their clients' properties with the best possible terms for the owners. Thus, they will neither show you as broad a selection nor push to get the best price, since their loyalty is to the Landlord. An Optimal Spaces agent will show you a broader range of properties and offer you a broader range of important services than a managing agent or commercial broker will. We will provide you with a market survey, floor plans, pricing expectations , and access to our rolodex: Optimal Spaces walks you through the process from start to finish. Upon entering your new space, it will look the way you want, all at the price you agreed to spend. In addition to negotiating the best price, we will reveal and abate many "hidden costs" to you. We will show you all the relevant available spaces and safeguard your interests throughout the process. Because of tour costs to provide these services, we ask in exchange that clients sign an Exclusive Brokerage Agreement. This allows us to plan appropriately for assisting you with every step of the process.
