SL Green Realty Corp. (NYSE: SLG) launches ticket sales today for
SUMMIT One Vanderbilt and reveals the first
chapter of
Air, a story-driven,
immersive experience within SUMMIT One Vanderbilt and designed by
Kenzo Digital. Mixing transparency and
reflectivity,
Transcendence creates the illusion
of boundless space, faceting the world into infinite universe
without fixed form or limit. Every moment in
Transcendence offers a tantalizing and singular
experience, unique to that moment in time.
AIRAir is a walk-through art
experience and story of both literal and figurative reflection.
Each step along the journey of Air rearranges what
visitors see with incredible complexity and scale, as if in
defiance of physics. It is an immersion in nature in the heart of
Manhattan, likened to a Central Park in the sky. With its unique
vantage point, Air brings the outside environment
into the space and then magnifies it infinitely.
“In addition to its remarkable materiality, Air
is a living, breathing entity, expressed through its multisensory
use of sound, lighting and production design. It’s a story that
evolves with each successive space, bringing visitors deeper and
deeper into the experience until finally, they become part of it.
Though Air is deeply personal, the experience
reveals a shared consciousness, inviting visitors of any age to
revel in collective wonder,” says Kenzo Digital, Artist and
CEO, Kenzo Digital Immersive. “Through its boundless
juxtapositions of form, Air compels you to live in
the present moment: calm, aware and free.”
ASCENT, LEVITATION, APRÈS and the SUMMIT
TERRACEThe observatory at SUMMIT One Vanderbilt provides
much more than just spectacular views. In addition to
Air, SUMMIT One Vanderbilt features thrill
experiences, world-class food and beverage and an outdoor terrace
with the highest urban alpine meadow in the Western
hemisphere. Thrill seekers can enjoy 2 options to
test their mettle. SUMMIT One Vanderbilt’s
LEVITATION sky boxes allow guests to step out from
the envelope of the building and stand on transparent glass 1,063
feet above Madison Avenue, with the hustle and bustle of city
streets directly beneath them. For the extreme thrill seeker,
SUMMIT One Vanderbilt’s ASCENT, an all-glass
elevator with a transparent glass floor, will take guests from the
terrace level up the side of the building, to over 1,200 feet (364
meters), nesting at the highest viewing point in midtown Manhattan.
The final stops on the SUMMIT One Vanderbilt journey are
APRÈS and the SUMMIT TERRACE.
APRÈS is SUMMIT One Vanderbilt’s sky-high lounge
and café featuring bespoke light fare and an innovative cocktail
program curated by Danny Meyer’s Union Square
Events. APRÈS’s offerings can be enjoyed
inside the Nordic themed lounge and café designed by
Snøhetta or outside on the SUMMIT
TERRACE. The SUMMIT TERRACE wraps around
the south and west sides of One Vanderbilt and is the perfect open
air viewing spot to take in the incredible views for up to 80 miles
while toasting your experience at SUMMIT One Vanderbilt.
“The excitement surrounding SUMMIT One Vanderbilt has been
overwhelming. Now that we are finally able to offer a glimpse into
the awe-inspiring, multi-level and multi-room immersive art
experience that is Air, people will begin to
understand how different this destination is from any other in the
