New estimates reported by the Wall Street Journal show that the JPMorgan Chase office tower at 270 Park Avenue in New York City cost 6 billion dollars to construct. Curbed reported that this figure likely makes the skyscraper the most expensive office tower built in the city to date. [1]

The Norman Foster designed skyscraper opened last fall and serves as the headquarters for JPMorgan Chase. The bank previously offered evasive estimates ranging between 3 billion dollars and 4 billion dollars for the development, according to Curbed. [1]

The high end property includes luxury features such as large artworks by Gerhard Richter and Maya Lin, as well as an indoor flagpole. Bank executives declared the building to be a physical manifestation of the values of the firm, Curbed reported. [1]
