Formerly Pepsi-Cola headquarters, this 11-story building on Park Avenue, built in 1960, has been granted landmark status by the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission. For the offices of The Georgetown Company, which occupies a full floor, the building’s original design firm, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, spent nearly a year and a half redesigning and renovating the interiors. The result is a space with a residential feel and flexible, open work spaces with multiple settings that allow focused work and collaboration.
The library features the firm’s private collection of books and is used daily as a quiet space to focus and host small meetings.
