AmTrustRE has finished the modernization of 360 Lexington Ave., an office building in Midtown Manhattan. The project refreshed the site, which was originally constructed in 1959.
Why it matters
The renovation effort aims to upgrade the property to better meet the modern requirements of office tenants. By revitalizing aging commercial assets, landlords seek to increase the appeal of workspaces in competitive urban markets.
The modernized building spans 268,000 square feet and now houses a 7,000-square-foot amenity clubhouse called Club 360. This new space provides lounge areas, work pods, and meeting rooms for building tenants.

Culture Shift
This project reflects the flight-to-quality office trend documented by commercial real estate firms as landlords update aging assets to compete with new construction. By integrating collaborative workspaces, the project aligns with the industry movement toward amenity-rich environments.
Tenants and visitors to the Midtown building can now utilize the new Club 360 amenity space. The modernization improves the aesthetic and functional experience for those working at the site, with a fitness center expected to provide additional health benefits later this year.
The takeaway
Commercial building owners are increasingly investing in legacy properties to remain relevant in a post-pandemic office market. Tenants should look for buildings that prioritize flexible amenities like work pods and fitness centers to maximize their daily office experience.
