With a striking newly-renovated lobby, 24/7 security staff, proximity key-card access, and a building plaza with a green wall, you can be sure spaces at 747 3rd Avenue will not be on the market for long. The building was constructed in 1972 and stands 37 stories high. 
747 3rd Avenue is located in Turtle Bay, a neighborhood known for beautiful architecture and views of the East River. The area is not defined by any tourist attractions, but that is part of the appeal. 747 3rd Avenue is just blocks away from Greek seafood at Arva Esiatorio, a warm treat at Ess-a-Bagel, and the Smith &#038; Wollensky steakhouse &#8211; Warren Buffetts favorite in New York. Third Ave and Lexington have stations that are quite close, making transportation easy. After work, the nightlife in Turtle Bay leaves little to be desired.

Grand Central Station

Grand Central is an iconic transit center in the heart of <a href="https://www.squarefoot.com/ny/new-york/midtown/office-space">Midtown</a>. It’s one of the most recognizable and visited sites in the world, known for its dazzling Grand Concourse ceiling, famous Information Booth Clock, and the Tiffany Clock above the entrance. Officially named Grand Central Terminal, locals prefer to call it and the surrounding neighborhood Grand Central. The main entrance lies at the intersection of East 42nd Street and Park Avenue.
Grand Central names not only a transportation hub but also a neighborhood. “Grand Central Terminal stands as a universal symbol between New York City’s past and present,” Jacqueline Kennedy Onnassis once <a href="https://www.grandcentralterminal.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. The incredible ease of commuting from around the city and northern suburbs along with the terminal’s location in the heart of Midtown make the area surrounding Grand Central ideal for businesses of all shapes, sizes, and industries.

<h2>Grand Central office space | Lease data &amp; trends</h2>
Office space rental pricing varies depending on how far any given building is from the actual station that gives the city its name. This discrepancy stems from whether you consider Grand Central office space part of the <a href="https://www.squarefoot.com/ny/new-york/midtown-east/office-space">Midtown East</a> or <a href="https://www.squarefoot.com/ny/new-york/plaza-district/office-space">Plaza District</a> submarket. Based on our delineation of neighborhoods, Grand Central contains more than 71.5 million square feet of office space inventory, with an additional 1.7 million square feet currently under construction.

<h2>Grand Central history</h2>
The New York Central Railroad granted Grand Central Terminal its name back in the early 1900s when it was just a steam railroad station. The station was constructed to connect the Hudson River Railroad, the New York and Harlem Railroad, and the New York and New Haven Railroad. The plans for Grand Central began with Cornelius Vanderbilt in the late 1860s. He envisioned the three railroads uniting at a single station, so he hired John B. Snook to design his vision at the site of the 42nd Street depot.
On Sept. 1, 1869, construction began, and it was finished just over two years later. By 1897, the station was very successful and helped more than <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Central_Terminal#History" target="_blank" rel="noopener">11.5 million</a> passengers reach their destinations annually.
About 30 years later, other investors proposed updates to the structure, which resulted in a complete rebuild. They began building the new Grand Central Terminal on June 19, 1903, and it opened for business again about a decade later. Grand Central Terminal’s success increased population and economic development in the area. In <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Central_Terminal#History" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1947</a>, more than 65 million travelers passed through the station.
More improvements have been made even in the last several decades. On Feb. 1, 2013, the station celebrated one hundred years of operation. “For one hundred years, Grand Central Terminal has been one of the preeminent symbols of New York City and a world famous architectural treasure,” according to the Grand Central Partnership <a href="https://www.grandcentralpartnership.nyc/our-neighborhood/grand-central-terminal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a>.
Today, Grand Central Terminal houses not only the MTA Metro-North Railroad and subway station (lines 4, 5, 6, 7, and S) but also features fine dining, shopping, and activities. After Times Square, Grand Central is the most often visited location in New York City. In fact, more than <a href="https://www.grandcentralterminal.com/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">750,000</a> people come to Grand Central every day.
So what’s the future of this iconic transportation hub and the surrounding neighborhood? The new challenge for Grand Central is to ensure it continues serving New York City’s growing and changing transportation needs for many years into the future. Currently, developers are working on opening to <a href="https://www.grandcentralterminal.com/history/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Long Island</a> commuters. That means that soon Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) trains will help commuters get from Long Island to Manhattan’s East Side via Grand Central Terminal. This service, which is expected to benefit approximately 162,000 LIRR commuters, “also will establish connections between the LIRR and Metro-North Lines, as well as linking Grand Central to the JFK Airport via the AirTrain through Jamaica Station in Queens,” according to the <a href="https://www.grandcentralterminal.com/history/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Grand Central Terminal</a> website. The Long Island Rail terminal will operate underground about 140 feet below Park Avenue.

The plans for Grand Central began with Cornelius Vanderbilt in the late 1860s. He envisioned the three railroads uniting at a single station, so he hired John B. Snook to design his vision at the site of the 42nd Street depot.
On Sept. 1, 1869, construction began, and it was finished just over two years later. By 1897, the station was very successful and helped more than <a rel="noopener" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Central_Terminal#History">11.5 million</a> passengers reach their destinations annually.
About 30 years later, other investors proposed updates to the structure, which resulted in a complete rebuild. They began building the new Grand Central Terminal on June 19, 1903, and it opened for business again about a decade later. Grand Central Terminal’s success increased population and economic development in the area. In <a rel="noopener" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Central_Terminal#History">1947</a>, more than 65 million travelers passed through the station.
More improvements have been made even in the last several decades. On Feb. 1, 2013, the station celebrated one hundred years of operation. “For one hundred years, Grand Central Terminal has been one of the preeminent symbols of New York City and a world famous architectural treasure,” according to the Grand Central Partnership <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.grandcentralpartnership.nyc/our-neighborhood/grand-central-terminal">website</a>.
Today, Grand Central Terminal houses not only the MTA Metro-North Railroad and subway station (lines 4, 5, 6, 7, and S) but also features fine dining, shopping, and activities. After Times Square, Grand Central is the most often visited location in New York City. In fact, more than <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.grandcentralterminal.com/about/">750,000</a> people come to Grand Central every day.
So what’s the future of this iconic transportation hub and the surrounding neighborhood? The new challenge for Grand Central is to ensure it continues serving New York City’s growing and changing transportation needs for many years into the future. Currently, developers are working on opening to <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.grandcentralterminal.com/history/">Long Island</a> commuters. That means that soon Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) trains will help commuters get from Long Island to Manhattan’s East Side via Grand Central Terminal. This service, which is expected to benefit approximately 162,000 LIRR commuters, “also will establish connections between the LIRR and Metro-North Lines, as well as linking Grand Central to the JFK Airport via the AirTrain through Jamaica Station in Queens,” according to the <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.grandcentralterminal.com/history/">Grand Central Terminal</a> website. The Long Island Rail terminal will operate underground about 140 feet below Park Avenue.
