JT Magen has completed the Macquarie Group HQ New York, a workplace designed as a reflection of the city itself. The project, led by Architecture Plus Information (A+I), transforms 260,000 square feet across seven floors (10–16) at 660 Fifth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan.

From the outset, the design emphasized New York’s constant movement and energy. To bring this vision to life, A+I created The Avenue, a striking diagonal staircase that winds across multiple levels. This feature links cafés, lounges, libraries, and terraces. It also fosters connection, circulation, and energy in a way that mirrors the city’s rhythm.

In addition, abundant daylight floods the space, while brass accents, warm wood, and glass details ground the design in timeless elegance. These choices were intentional. They bring together the scale of a corporate headquarters with the personal feel of a city neighborhood.

JT Magen carefully managed each stage of construction to uphold this vision. The team oversaw budgeting, scheduling, procurement, and subcontractor coordination. They also worked closely with engineers, millworkers, and fabricators to solve challenges without delaying progress. With this approach, the design intent remained intact from start to finish.

Moreover, the headquarters integrates 25,000 square feet of outdoor space. These terraces expand the workplace beyond the walls, offering fresh air, skyline views, and informal meeting areas. As a result, employees benefit from both productivity and well-being.

The new Macquarie HQ reflects the company’s values of collaboration, flexibility, and innovation. It is also a highly sustainable project. The headquarters earned LEED Platinum certification and won the 2025 NYCxDESIGN Award for Large Corporate Office. Together, these recognitions highlight the blend of technical skill and human-centered design.

With this project, JT Magen strengthens its reputation as a trusted builder of landmark interiors and a partner in shaping New York’s modern workplaces.
