The Design

Having undergone a recent, multi-million dollar renovation in 2016, Convene at 237 Park Avenue has been re-imagined as a modern masterpiece in Midtown Manhattan’s Business District. The 21-story high rise features clean, minimalist design on its exterior, while modern white finishes and bold natural wood twin panels draw the viewer’s eyes upwards to the bright and airy atrium inside.

"The renovations to the property’s exteriors will further its distinct sense of fluidity and incandescence, while also distinguishing the property from its surroundings and enhancing the ease of pedestrian passage to and from New York City’s iconic Grand Central Station."
