500 Fifth Avenue is a 60-story, 697-foot-tall office building located on the northwest corner of Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Designed by Shreve, Lamb & Harmon in the Art Deco style, it was constructed from 1929 to 1931.
The building was developed for businessman Walter J. Salmon Sr. and features a facade of bronze, limestone, and terracotta at the base, with brick cladding above the fourth floor. Its design incorporates setbacks, typical of the Art Deco style and mandated by the 1916 Zoning Resolution.
