425 Fifth Avenue is a 618-foot (188-meter) residential skyscraper at 38th Street and Fifth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. It was developed by RFR Davis[2] and designed by Michael Graves. It has 55 floors and 197 units.[3] The building uses air rights from two small adjoining buildings and a zoning bonus for providing a public plaza to maximize its floor area. As of July 2016, it is the 96th-tallest building in New York City.
The building's site was originally home to a 5-story structure known as the Siebrecht Building which was home to Pierre Abraham Lorillard.[4] Construction started in late 1999.[5] The original architect of the project was Robert A. M. Stern, who was replaced by Michael Graves in 2001.[6] The building topped-out in April 2002, and was opened that September.
