Salmon Tower Building

The Salmon Tower Building has about 950,000 square feet of floor area in total, including 924,000 square feet of office and 26,000 square feet of retail, according to NYC PLUTO 26v2. These are the city's estimates for the whole building, not space that is available.

City records list 1926 as the year built, with a major alteration recorded in 1979. The building is 33 floors tall.

The Salmon Tower Building is at 11 West 42nd Street in Midtown, Manhattan. City records list 11-27 West 42nd Street and 18-30 West 43rd Street on the same tax lot (BBL 1012580021). A space listed on Leasemark at any of these addresses shows up on this page.

11 West 42nd Street is in ZIP code 10036, according to the city's tax lot records (NYC PLUTO 26v2) and the Department of Finance's assessment roll. The Salmon Tower Building is at 11 West 42nd Street, New York, NY 10036, in Midtown.

The lot is in the C6-6 zoning district. PLUTO lists a built floor area ratio (FAR) of 27.7 and a maximum commercial FAR of 15 for this lot.

Also nearby: Grand Central-42 St (the 4, 5, 6, 7 and S trains), 3 min walk; Times Sq-42 St (the 1, 2, 3, 7, N, Q, R, W, S, A, C and E trains, connected to 42 St-Port Authority Bus Terminal), 5 min walk.

The NYC Department of Finance's 2026/27 assessment roll lists 11 WEST 42 REALTY INVESTORS, LLC as the owner of record of the Salmon Tower Building (BBL 1012580021). Big buildings are usually held through a company set up for that one property, so the name on the roll can differ from the landlord's brand or the managing agent. Deeds and mortgages for the lot are public in ACRIS, the city's property records system.

Leasemark does not have the building's tenant roster, but SEC filings name companies with offices at the Salmon Tower Building. One public company reports the address as its principal executive office: LINDBLAD EXPEDITIONS HOLDINGS, INC. (LIND). One investment manager files 13F holdings reports from the address: CAPITOLIS LIQUID GLOBAL MARKETS LLC. Private companies do not file with the SEC, so the full list of tenants is longer, and a company can also report a building it owns.

The Salmon Tower Building reported an ENERGY STAR score of 61 for calendar year 2024 in its Local Law 84 benchmarking filing. Under Local Law 33, as amended by Local Law 95 of 2019, a score of 85 or higher earns an A, 70 to 84 a B, 55 to 69 a C and under 55 a D, so 61 earns a C. The Department of Buildings assigns the grade a building posts, so the posted label can differ if a filing was corrected. Its site energy use came to 71.8 kBtu per square foot, 14% below the national median of 83.5 for a similar property. Its greenhouse gas emissions were about 6,328 metric tons of CO2e (6.67 kg per square foot).

At its 2024 energy use, the Salmon Tower Building comes to about 4,998 metric tons of CO2e a year under Local Law 97's coefficients, against a limit of 7,439 tons for 2024 to 2029 (67% of the limit), so it would owe no penalty. From 2030 the limit drops to 2,489 tons and the same energy use counts as about 3,151 tons, about 662 tons over, or an estimated $177,000 a year unless the building cuts its emissions. This is an estimate from the owner's 2024 benchmarking filing using the coefficients and per-use limits in the law and the Department of Buildings rule, at $268 per ton over. It is not the building's Local Law 97 report, which can count credits and deductions this estimate cannot.

In the 12 months to October 2026, the Department of Buildings issued first permits for 3 jobs at the Salmon Tower Building. In the last two years, interior work was permitted on 4 floors (floors 1, 3, 15 and 22). The newest build-out, on floor 15, was first permitted in September 2026 (construction; filed cost estimate $53,000). These are the Department of Buildings' DOB NOW work permits for tax lot 1012580021. A permit is approval to do the work; it does not say who the work is for or whether it is finished.

The Department of Finance's 2026/27 assessment roll lists a taxable value of $142.5 million for the Salmon Tower Building. At the Class 4 rate of 10.848% (tax year 2025/26, the latest rate the Department of Finance lists), that is about $15.5 million a year, roughly $16.27 per square foot of floor area, before abatements such as ICAP. The city's property tax records for BBL 1012580021 show the actual bill.

For tax year 2026/27, the NYC Department of Finance puts the market value of the Salmon Tower Building at $317.9 million ($59.9 million of it land) and its assessed value at $143 million, the 45% of market value the city assesses for Class 4 property. The city's market value held steady from 2022/23 to 2026/27.

Owners registered 12 storefronts at the Salmon Tower Building for December 31, 2025, the newest annual filing the city has published, and 4 of them stood vacant that day. At least one storefront here has been reported vacant at the end of every year since 2019. These are the owners' filings with the Department of Finance under Local Law 157, so a storefront vacant on December 31, 2025 may have been leased since. Owners and brokers can list a storefront on Leasemark for free.
