Additional Information & Description
SUMMIT One Vanderbilt brings immersive art to the top of Midtown Manhattan’s tallest commercial skyscraper. Rather than a visit built around a single lookout, it combines multi-sensory installations with an elevated setting, making the space itself part of what you come to see.
Three floors of art and discovery
Your entry ticket includes access to three floors of SUMMIT, with experiences spread across 65,000 square feet (6,000 square metres). Air mixes transparency and reflectivity in an immersive artwork: looking through and looking at the installation become part of the same experience. Its visual effects make photography one of the reasons to spend time here. Reflect brings a different artistic focus, with an installation by Yayoi Kusama. These named works give the visit more substance than an observation stop alone, with art taking a central role rather than serving as decoration around the windows.
A panoramic view from the top floor
The top floor opens onto spectacular 360-degree views of New York City and beyond. The Empire State Building and Chrysler Building are among the landmarks visible, with close-up views adding detail to the wider panorama. The outlook also changes with the time of your visit. Daytime brings the clarity of daylight; sunset introduces shifting colours; nighttime puts the city’s lights in focus. Each gives the skyline a different visual character, while the broad view extends beyond the buildings immediately surrounding One Vanderbilt.
Levitation above Madison
Levitation is also included in your ticket, adding a thrilling moment 1,000 feet above Madison. Height is the focus of this part of the visit. Alongside the art installations and panoramic outlook, it introduces a distinct encounter with SUMMIT’s elevated position over Midtown.
