For the second year, Crain’s New York Business is featuring the Coolest Offices in New York. To be eligible, offices needed to have been opened, renovated or otherwise modified between Jan. 1, 2018, and March 31, 2019. Through online surveys, companies submitted descriptions and photos to demonstrate just what makes their office cool. Crain’s editorial staff combed through dozens of candidates, seeking spaces that showcase the latest trends and are built for the future of work. Fifteen winners and finalists were selected in five categories: new construction, retrofit, amenities, décor and collaborative space.

What’s next? Read how the coolest offices are getting smart.

COOLEST NEW SPACE

MARX REALTY

10 Grand Central // Midtown East

ARCHITECT: OTJ Architects
CONTRACTOR: Phase 3

Marx Realty also made its mark with its new digs at 10 Grand Central. The real estate management and development firm created a 1930s hotel–like feel, installing polished concrete floors, black steel–framed windows and brushed-brass fixtures. The office also has a 2,200-square-foot outdoor terrace with ample seating.
