JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon praised the workers who have spent almost three years building the bank’s new headquarters.
It will be the “best building in the United States and in fact probably the world,” Dimon said Monday at an event to commemorate the raising of the tower’s final steel beam.
JPMorgan announced plans in 2018 to tear down its existing headquarters at 270 Park Ave. and replace it with a modern skyscraper. The building, designed by Foster + Partners, will be 60 stories tall and house about 14,000 employees. P

Jamie Dimon Declares JPMorgan’s New Headquarters the ‘Best Building’ in the US and Possibly the World

When JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon took the stage at a recent milestone event, he did not mince words. As the final steel beam was hoisted into place, the culmination of nearly three years of labor, Dimon lauded the bank’s new headquarters as the apex of architectural prowess. “This is the best building in the United States and, perhaps, even the world,” he declared, the pride and ambition in his words echoing off the skeletal steel structure.
…While the building itself is an impressive feat of engineering and design, it stands for much more in the eyes of JPMorgan Chase. It represents a tangible investment into its physical and symbolic footprint, a testament to the bank’s status and ambition. It’s a statement piece, a new standard in the design and functionality of corporate spaces. And as the edifice continues to rise, so do the expectations and excitement surrounding its completion.
As the new headquarters inches closer to its completion, the anticipation is palpable. Dimon’s high praise reflects not just the bank’s confidence in its investment but also its vision for the future. The building, touted as the ‘best’, is not just about its physical stature or aesthetic appeal—it’s about setting a precedent, becoming a landmark structure in the realm of corporate buildings, and symbolizing a new era of architectural excellence.
