P oised in the centre of the centre of Midtown Manhattan is 520 Fifth Avenue, the tallest residential tower on Fifth Avenue, standing second only to the Empire State Building. A distinctive presence in the iconic New York skyline, 520 Fifth Avenue was designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox and features arched windows and cascading setbacks, complemented by warm, richly modern interiors by AD100 design firm, Charles & Co. 520 Fifth Avenue offers cinematic vistas from each of its 100 residences—all rising from 400 to 900 feet above this world-famous avenue. No wonder it has quickly become New York’s top-selling condominium, with over 70 percent of the condominium’s 100 residences now sold. In addition to being in the heart of the largest business district in the US, Midtown Manhattan, 520 Fifth Avenue is surrounded by all that makes visiting or living in New York City extraordinary: Central Park, the Theatre District, Fifth Avenue shopping, MoMA, Rockefeller Center, world-class restaurants, as well as beloved local gems. To the south is the emerging restaurant scene of NoMad and Madison Square Park, and to the west is Hudson Yards, the High Line, and the Hudson riverfront. The building also enjoys unparalleled connectivity with adjacency to multiple transit hubs, including Grand Central Station only two blocks away. The tower is the brainchild of Rabina, a fully integrated real estate investment, development, and management firm based in New York City. Family-owned and operated for three generations, it has a diverse array of institutional-quality assets located throughout the United States and abroad. While new to the Manhattan development scene, Rabina has been the capital behind developments for decades, thus positioning the firm well for acquiring the 520 Fifth Avenue site. The mixed-use tower – the firm’s largest project to date –combines retail, Class A office space, and a members club, Moss, at its base, with luxury Simply Abu Dhabi | 277
