Jamestown is redeveloping the iconic One Times Square building—the site of the New Year's Eve ball drop—in a $500 million initiative that the company says will reposition the 118-year old building into a visitor center for New York City.
The redevelopment will open much of the building's interior to the public for the first time in decades and will include a new viewing deck and museum. Investment will be made in advertising technology as well, to allow brands to provide immersive digital, virtual and augmented reality-based experiences throughout 12 floors of the 26-story building.
"This $500 million redevelopment will transform a largely empty and inaccessible property into an alive and welcoming building for all who stop by," said Congressman Jerrold Nadler in prepared remarks.
