205 East 42nd Street

Joseph Durst introduced his sons to the family business when he acquired this classic Midtown office building in 1944. 205 East 42nd Street helped launch a series of high-profile office developments along Third Avenue, developments that would forever change the culture of the City as well as creating the world’s most famous skyline. Recent major renovations include restoration of the historic lobby, a modern security system, and a new high-speed elevator system.
