Empire State Realty Trust files plans for $12.5M multi-floor rehab of Empire State Building

Empire State Realty Trust, on September 30, filed plans for a $12.5 million rehab of two floors of the Empire State Building at 350 Fifth Avenue in Garment District, Manhattan.

So far this year there have been $24,800,392 of alteration plans filed at the building. These are the largest of the plans.

The plans call for work on floors 14 and 15 of the 1,250-foot-tall, 102-story building and were filed with the New York City Department of Buildings under job number M00583176.

The project is described in the filing as: General construction work taking place on the 14th and 15th floors as per plans filed herewith. No change in use, egress or occupancy.

The architect listed is M Moser Associates.

In May of 2013, the Empire State Building’s shareholders approved the sale of the landmarked building to the public in an IPO valued at $4.2 billion. Peter L. Malkin and his son Anthony E. Malkin had controlled the property since 1961, when it was purchased by a group of nearly 3,000 entities created by Malkin Properties in a $65 million syndication deal.

Last year a $30.7 million rehab of several floors including the observation deck of the building was formally wrapped up.
