640 Fifth Avenue, Manhattan, New York, was completed between 1881 and 1883 for William Henry Vanderbilt. It was part of the "Vanderbilt Triple Palace," a set of conjoined palazzos that included 660 Fifth Avenue and 2 West 52nd Street. The Triple Palace was a symbol of the Vanderbilt family's wealth and prestige, occupying the entire block between 51st and 52nd Streets on Fifth Avenue.

640 Fifth Avenue was notable for its grandeur, with 58 rooms and a significant portion of the overall budget dedicated to its construction. The building was admired by Henry Clay Frick, who later leased it in 1905 and made significant alterations, including eliminating the front garden and adding a massive entrance.

Despite its historical significance, the Vanderbilt Triple Palace was eventually demolished. The site where 640 Fifth Avenue once stood is now part of the modern landscape of Fifth Avenue, reflecting the evolution from residential mansions to commercial properties.

640 Fifth Avenue, also known as 640 5th Avenue, is located in the heart of Manhattan, New York City. It is situated on the Northwest corner of 51st Street and 5th Avenue, within the vicinity of Rockefeller Center and St. Patrick's Cathedral.

This building was originally constructed in 1940, but some sources indicate it was built in 1948. It has undergone renovations, with a significant redevelopment in 2005 that included modernizing the lobby and creating floor-to-ceiling glass walls.

640 Fifth Avenue is a 21 to 22-story office building, depending on the source, with a total floor area of approximately 277,684 to 315,000 square feet. It features a sleek, modern design and offers amenities such as 24/7 security and LEED Gold Certification.

Notable tenants include Fidelity Investments and Owl Creek Asset Management for office space, and retail tenants like Dyson and Victoria's Secret.

VSA Consulting Group Testimonial

VSA Consulting Group testimonial To whom it may concern: I am writing to recommend Stephen Sunderland and Optimal Spaces Inc. for the excellent job they did in finding us a lease at our new space. They were fast and effecient in locating spaces that met our needs and corporate image, aggressive in negotiating on our behalf, and effective in communicating our needs to the landlord and getting our offer accepted. I look forward to working with the team at Optimal Spaces Inc. again. Very truly yours, Jack Sichterman Partner/Managing Director
