Architect Lord Norman Foster
Address 300 West 57th Street (959 Eighth Avenue), Google Local Map
The Hearst Magazine Building, the stunted Art Deco skyscraper that for 72 years has squatted at the corner of 57th Street and Eighth Avenue, is finally going to be completed by one of architecture’s foremost modernists.
Executives at the Hearst Corporation, which has its corporate headquarters in the six-story building at 959 Eighth Avenue, have hired Lord Norman Foster, a member of the steel-and-glass vanguard and the 1999 recipient of architecture's highest honor, the Pritzker Prize, to design a tower to be built above their heads, fulfilling the plans originally laid by William Randolph Hearst and abandoned during the Great Depression.
