A look inside JPMorgan's soaring new office tower — and all its high-end perks
JPMorgan Chase is about to open its new headquarters at 270 Park Avenue in Manhattan. The 60-story skyscraper, designed by Foster + Partners, is chock-full of perks and amenities. The building includes a gym, an Irish pub, AI tech, a food hall, and more — see the photos. America's biggest bank is gearing up to open its new and long-awaited headquarters at 270 Park Avenue in Manhattan — complete with a new state-of-the-art gym, an Irish pub, a social "exchange" above the trading floors, and more. The exact move-in date is unclear, but the tower has been lighting up the New York City skyline in recent weeks — and JPMorgan employees told Business Insider the bank has been posting updates, including details about the new gym, on its intranet. "Our cutting-edge Fitness Center offers access to cardio, strength and recovery equipment, locker rooms, daily group exercise classes, a nutrition consultation and sessions with a Well-being Performance Coach," the bank said on its intranet, according to screenshots obtained by Business Insider. "It may take up to five business days from your move into 270 Park to be able to join the Fitness Center," the bank told employees adding that "a monthly membership fee is required" to join the gym. The Jamie Dimon-led bank behemoth first unveiled details of the building's amenities in 2022. The 60-story skyscraper will stand at 1,388 feet tall and was designed by Foster + Partners, which has headed other iconic projects like The Gherkin in London and the Hearst Tower in New York. With the transition imminent, Business Insider put together a slideshow of the skyscraper's most interesting perks and amenities, from its in-building employee gym to AI tech systems and a massive food hall. We spoke to people who have seen some of the communications, looked over JPMorgan press releases, interviews and reports from other publications, and renderings from the architects designing the tower. A huge food court and in-office pub JPMorgan's head of global real estate, David Arena, told Fortune that the project would include a food court with 19 restaurants. He described it in the February interview as a "modern version of an Eataly," referring to a popular Italian food hall. The bank has said it will feature "diverse food operators and healthy menus." There's also an Irish pub in the building, according to Fortune, as well as the option for food to be delivered on-demand straight to employees' desks. 'State-of-the-art' membership gym Screenshots of an internal JPMorgan portal obtained by Business Insider said 270 Park's "state-of-the-art" fitness center will be operated by Exos, a corporate well-being company that also offers sports training for professional athletes. The bank's internal communications said the gym will only be available to employees assigned to work at 270 Park for now. When the building fully opens in 2026, any employee with a Midtown Manhattan work address will be able to use it. The company has said employees who use the gym will have to pay a membership fee, which has drawn some gripes from people posting on Reddit who said they were JPMorgan employees. The bank declined to comment on the gym cost. In-office wellness center Recent communications to employees also mentioned a Health & Wellness Center that will provide medical care and services to benefits-eligible employees based in the US. Licensed providers will be there to offer sick visits, acute care, general medical advice, lab work, allergy shot management, and international travel preparation. Most services at the Health & Wellness Center are free, the portal says, including Wellness Screenings and certain lab tests performed on-site. The public JPM website also mentions 270 Park will have "modern mother's rooms and prayer and meditation spaces." Elements of nature — from lighting to air and materials The 270 Park Ave tower will use "biophilic design" techniques to connect the outdoors to the indoors, according to JPM's website, through the use of plants and "healthier furniture and building materials." The windows of the building will bring in 30% more daylight than a typical office building, the site says, and use "circadian lighting" to "support a healthier indoor environment." The tower will have advanced heating and air-conditioning systems that both clean outdoor air as it comes in and filter recirculated air, the firm says. The tower will be New York City's largest all-electric skyscraper, according to the site, powered by renewable energy and producing "net zero operational emissions." Smart tech and AI The tower will feature technology that uses "sensors, AI, and machine learning systems to predict, respond to, and adapt to energy needs," according to the bank's website. The building's technology will be touchless for both employees and visitors, the firm says. JPMorgan's Arena told Fortune earlier this year: "They'll know when you register for a conference room how you like the temperature, et cetera. They'll know when you show up at Starbucks in the morning or whatever other coffee shops we have, how you like your latte." City views & fine art At the top of the 60-story building will be a conference center with "unobstructed city views" to host events, the bank's website says. Fortune said the new building will also have its own signature scent. JPMorgan's company art collection will be featured in the building, Fortune reported, including gifts from David Rockefeller and "generative artwork that comes to life and moves when guests walk past." More space — both indoors and out JPM says the new building will house up to 14,000 employees (compared to the other facility, which was designed for about 3,500). Architects Foster + Partners described "the social heart of the tower" as a three-story area above the trading floors called the "Exchange." The bank says there will be 2.5 times more outdoor space on the ground level of Park and Madison Avenues, including wider sidewalks and a large public plaza.

Japanese-American food counter DŌZO is opening a full-service restaurant in Dilworth
DŌZO will relocate from Wesley Heights' City Kitch to Dilworth this fall, reopening as a full-service restaurant and bar. Why it matters: In just under a year, this 12-seat counter in a shared commercial kitchen has outgrown its digs. Now, the team's going bigger and launching a full restaurant and bar to keep up with demand — and to try out new dishes and drinks. State of play: The Japanese-American comfort food spot will shorten its hours at its current location ahead of its final day of service on Sept. 27. What's happening: Co-owner Perry Saito, who also runs the popular Japanese food truck Katsu Kart, will open the new DŌZO at 1419 East Blvd., in the space previously occupied by Fern: Flavors of the Garden, which closed last year. He's aiming to open by Nov. 1, though possibly sooner, he tells Axios. Context: Saito and co-owner/sous chef John Gamble launched DŌZO last September in a 600-square-foot City Kitch stall with 12 seats. The cozy counter quickly became a go-to for affordable, generous portions of Japanese comfort food with American twists, like crab fried rice and hot honey chicken karaage. What to expect: While the Wesley Heights space was designed mostly for takeout, the new DŌZO will be a full restaurant and bar with seating for 30–34 indoors, plus a 30-seat patio with a more lounge-like vibe. The patio will have QR ordering for small bites and drinks. Other upgrades planned for the Dilworth location include: Expanded hours: The new space will serve dinner until 10pm. A similar but "polished" menu: Favorites like crab fried rice and okonomiyaki will remain, but the menu will grow. Lunch will feature teishoku, a set meal similar to a bento box, but with more variety. An expanded fresh fish program will highlight sustainable species beyond tuna, hamachi and salmon. An expanded bar program: The Dilworth location will have a full cocktail list, spotlighting Japanese whiskey highballs and approachable small-brewery sakes.
