Built in 1912 as the McAlpin Hotel and debuting as the largest hotel in the world, the historic structure at 50 West 34th Street has had many transformations over the years and now serves as a collection of rentals known as The Herald Towers.

Additionally, ground-level tenants include a GameStop, the Gap, and soon-to-come this holiday season, a large Century 21 pop-up store at the corner of 34th Street and Broadway.
