15 Penn Plaza

Manhattan, United States

The 68th tallest building in the world

370.6 m · 1,216 ft

15 Penn Plaza, also known as PENN15 and Vornado Tower, is a planned supertall office tower to be constructed by Vornado Realty Trust on Seventh Avenue between 32nd and 33rd Streets in the Midtown Manhattan neighborhood of New York City. The building, designed by Foster and Partners, will contain 430 units on 50 floors and 2,200,000 square feet (200,000 m2) of floor space as well as passageways to the adjacent Pennsylvania Station, 34th Street–Herald Square station, and the 33rd Street terminal of the PATH. The building was originally planned to be 1,270 feet (390 m) tall and have 61 floors, 20 feet (6.1 m) taller than the mooring mast or spire of the Empire State Building, two blocks east, but plans were reduced in November 2025 to 1,000 feet (300 m) tall, as well as its floor count to 50. The timing of construction will be dependent on market conditions. Vornado is currently exploring using the site for "fashion shows or other temporary uses" until market conditions warrant construction of the building.
