The property is located on a prime corner of Herald Square at the intersection of Sixth Avenue, Broadway and 34th Street. 2 Herald is located in one of Manhattan's busiest areas. 2 Herald Square is located in one of the greatest shopping districts in New York City. Home to over 175 department stores, specialty shops, and national chain flagships, 34th Street offers a huge selection of shops for every taste and budget, while Penn Station provides an abundance of transportation options including the subway, Amtrak and Path Train. Originally known as the Marbridge Building, 2 Herald Square was completed in 1910 and is an excellent example of the commercial architecture of the period. The building was the work of Townsend, Steinle & Haskell, whose chief partner, Ralph S. Townsend, was the designer of the famous Kenilworth Apartments at West 76th Street and Central Park West. Praised by architectural historian Christopher Gray as “solid and attractive,” 2 Herald displays “the bold tactile quality” associated with Townsend’s practice. An application of the Beaux Arts style applied to a commercial project, the building’s chamfered corner addresses the bustling square below while grand cartouches and a handsomely detailed cornice lend a continental air.
