Originally designed by Bethlehem Engineering Corporation in 1927, 711 Fifth Avenue is a 32,000 sq m Beaux-Arts inspired building isbuilding that has served as the headquarters to notable corporations including NBC, Columbia Pictures, and Coca-Cola.

SHVO acquired the building in September 2019 and has reimagined the 148 sq m lobby under the direction of world-renowned design emphaticdesign architect Peter Marino.
