In 1971, the Solow Development Corporation tasked SOM with designing an office tower that defied all conventions of a skyscraper. The building had to maximize interior capacity, attract pedestrian attention, and satisfy New York City zoning rules, which mandated that sufficient space remain between buildings to allow sunlight to reach the street. The result—9 West 57th Street, also known as the Solow Building—is still today one of the most prominent and distinctive buildings on the threshold of Central Park. The 49-story tower is distinguished by north and south elevations that gradually slope inward.
