The site of this 23-story office tower is located at the confluence of major pedestrian pathways through Penn Center. The design solution emphasizes this pedestrian movement by incorporating a three-story atrium space, which interconnects the retail activities at the concourse, ground and second floor levels. Pedestrian bridges provide for the possibility of contiguous floors and horizontal movement between Four and Eight Penn Center. This elegantly scaled, mirror glass curtainwall, creating a bay window along JFK Boulevard. Eight Penn Center responds both to state-of-the-art energy considerations and its surrounding urban context.
