GM’s famous constructing at 767 Fifth Avenue desires to ensure its tech-loving tenants are in good condition, too.
On the second floor of the tower, home to the famous Apple Cube, a new 35,000-square-foot second-floor service center called the Savoy Club features an 18,000-square-foot Savoy Club Wellness with features comparable to a spin studio, a yoga room, a gym with cardio equipment and opulent locker rooms and grooming stations.
It’s a part of a campaign by majority owner BXP (formerly Boston Properties) to make the nearly two-million-square-foot tower at Fifth Avenue and East 59th Street much more competitive – and trendy – in arguably the slowest office occupancy season in the town’s history.
BXP’s vp for the New York region, Hilary Spann, said that in a demanding market, “Access to wellness resources is as essential as other job-related aspects comparable to pay, location and amenities.”
Not that GM hurts: it’s 93% leased to high-profile tenants including Grosvenor, PWP, Weil Gotshal and Baron Capital.
The Savoy Club also features a new coffee shop with La Colombe coffee products, artisanal pastries and takeaway breakfasts and lunches, in addition to a state-of-the-art conference centre.
The marble-covered 1968 Apple Cube tower was famously installed within the square when the constructing was owned by Harry Macklowe. One other former owner was identified on the façade by the massive gold letters TRUMP.
