The NYC Department of Finance's 2026/27 assessment roll lists 555 1290 HOLDINGS, LLC as the owner of record of 1290 Avenue of the Americas (BBL 1012670001). 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 1290 Avenue of the Americas. One public company reports the address as its principal executive office: FUBOTV INC. (FUBO). 3 investment managers and funds file 13F holdings reports from the address: NEUBERGER BERMAN GROUP LLC, NEUBERGER BERMAN INVESTMENT ADVISERS LLC and NEUBERGER BERMAN TRUST CO N.A.. 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.

1290 Avenue of the Americas last sold in April 2006 for $1.25 billion, according to the deed recorded with the city. JAMESTOWN 1290, L.P. sold it to HWA 1290 III LLC, HWA 1290 IV LLC and others. The deed is ACRIS document 2006042900019002 (BBL 1012670001) in the city's property records. A sale of the company that owns a building is not recorded as a deed, so it would not show there.

1290 Avenue of the Americas reported an ENERGY STAR score of 75 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 75 earns a B. 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 82.7 kBtu per square foot, 30% below the national median of 118.6 for a similar property. Its greenhouse gas emissions were about 14,369 metric tons of CO2e (7.42 kg per square foot).

At its 2024 energy use, 1290 Avenue of the Americas comes to about 10,260 metric tons of CO2e a year under Local Law 97's coefficients, against a limit of 15,704 tons for 2024 to 2029 (65% of the limit), so it would owe no penalty. From 2030 the limit drops to 5,881 tons and the same energy use counts as about 6,877 tons, about 996 tons over, or an estimated $267,000 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.
