The sleek design of the rooftop lounge, with its modern furnishings and minimalist aesthetic, fosters an atmosphere of calm and focus to spark creativity. The open, airy space with sweeping views of Manhattan’s skyline – which includes the iconic Empire State Building – provides a backdrop that inspires fresh ideas. Natural elements like greenery and wood create a relaxed environment that encourages creative thoughts to flow freely.

In a city as vibrant and dynamic as New York, a private escape like this tenant-only rooftop offers employees a rare sense of exclusivity. For office tenants, this means more than just a chance to unwind—it creates an opportunity to network with fellow building residents in a more relaxed and organic way. Businesses in the building can utilize the space to host informal events, casual happy hours, or even small-scale networking sessions that are far more intimate than larger, traditional venues. 

More than just a retreat from the workday, the rooftop lounge at 501 Seventh Avenue fosters a sense of community. The exclusivity of the space promotes an environment where collaboration can thrive outside of formal meeting rooms. Whether it’s an impromptu brainstorm session in the open air or a more structured event like a team-building activity or lunch-and-learn, the lounge serves as a hub for both individual productivity and team engagement.

Beyond this brand-new rooftop, the property at 501 Seventh Avenue includes a fully modernized lobby, new elevators and windows, renovated air-conditioned public corridors and restrooms, and upgraded building-wide systems which include state-of-the-art electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and security. Tenants need not go far with in-building retailers such as Chipotle and Club Pilates.  

501 Seventh Avenue is one of the most convenient and versatile buildings, with a surrounding neighborhood that boasts amenities and convenient access to public transportation. The building is just a five-minute walk to Penn Station and the PATH; seven minutes to the Port Authority Terminal; steps from 16 subway lines, and 15 minutes to Grand Central Terminal.

The stunning rooftop and lounge at 501 Seventh Avenue is the latest addition to ESRT’s rich amenity offerings. The REIT recently opened the Empire Lounge – an amenity center on the Empire State Building’s Club Level – that features a 400-person all hands space, multisport court, and two golf simulators to complement its 15,000 square foot Fitness Club, 67th floor conference center, and extensive in-building food and beverage options. 

ESRT also recently announced the 1400 Broadway Town Hall and Lounge as part of its Broadway campus amenities – which includes the rooftop soon-to-come to 1333 Broadway – and a wide range of dining, shopping, and entertainment within walking distance.
