About

THE GARDENS - 780 THIRD AVE

780 Third Ave, known as The Gardens, is a contemporary mixed‑use project in New York City that showcases the integration of advanced glass technology with urban design.

Nuveen Real Estate is re-positioning 780 Third Ave. as The Gardens at 780, capping a $40 million, “biophilic” upgrade of the 512,000 square-foot office tower at East 48th Street that was originally the Wang Building.

Led by New York design studio Architecture Plus Information, known also as A+I, 780 Third Ave, The Gardens, will feature a 12,000-square-foot publicly accessible park with decorative planters and a walkable skylight set above the new LaFolina restaurant.

LITEFLAM XT120 IGU will provide unique setting with sunlit views to the street level above.
