The new signage bears the building's official name<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

February 28, 2012 – Whether you\u2019ve been at our Grand Central center for a while, took a tour as a prospective tenant, work for another company in the building, or merely passed by Lexington Avenue and 41st<\/sup> Street, you\u2019ve certainly spotted the construction workers toiling around the building over the past several months.\u00a0 And if you\u2019ve been around this month, you certainly couldn\u2019t miss the result of their hard work: a brand new entrance hall that exhibits a modern take on the building\u2019s timeless design elements.<\/p>\n

On the building\u2019s exterior, a brand new signage was installed, including stainless steel lettering of \u201c369 Lexington\u201d \u2013 the building\u2019s official name.\u00a0 Embossed and backlit with LED lights, the signage shines bright during the nighttime.\u00a0 The building\u2019s fa\u00e7ade, as well as its front-facing columns, was covered in clear, white-etched glass, imparting a modern look and a contrast that enliven the signage.<\/p>\n

A must experience: the new elevator bank<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Inside the building, the overhaul is ever more apparent.\u00a0 Blue panels were added to all lobby walls; lit from within, these semi-transparent glass panels have instantly lit up the area and often inspire awe-stricken tourists to sneak into the lobby and snap pictures.\u00a0 The lobby\u2019s classic terrazzo flooring was updated with a new rocks design and a matching color palette of white, light blue, and gray.\u00a0 These light colors reflect and multiply the lights from within the walls, creating a bright, welcoming space.<\/p>\n

A new lobby desk, housed between two columns and attended by a doorman, incorporates the lobby colors and completes the picture \u2013 until you see the elevators.\u00a0 You truly have to step inside the bank to appreciate its beauty.\u00a0 With black absolute marble floors and a half-carved, half-embossed stainless steel cage, the elevators are a truly jaw-dropping masterpiece.<\/p>\n

Picture-perfect: the new lobby desk<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In addition to the striking design, Jay Suites invested in impressive technological enhancements.\u00a0 These include an electronic directory of the building\u2019s tenants, which replaces the previous board consisting of lighted-strips.\u00a0 The brand-new, digital directory stores information on all of the building\u2019s major tenants, including images, names, and suite numbers.\u00a0 Another high-tech touch is the addition of a 60-inch TV screen that displays this information in the lobby, ensuring visitors easy and prompt access to their hosts.<\/p>\n

Despite the project\u2019s length and complexity, the results are nothing short of impressive and have boosted employee morale. \u201cI love the new lobby!\u201d says Ariel Antoine, a receptionist at Jay Suites Grand Central.\u00a0 \u201cThe attention to detail was well thought out, and the building sign is beautiful. Everything is clean and the front-desk attendants are welcoming.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve never been to the Grand Central center \u2013 or if you haven\u2019t been here in a while \u2013 it\u2019s time to stop by, if only to please your eyes with a unique mix of old-and-new architecture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
