A new landmark in New York,
Summit One Vanderbilt

Visit the One Vanderbilt Observatory for the most impressive view in New York. Built in 2021, this building boasts a whopping 77 floors and 48,000 square meters of interior space. It is emerging as a new landmark, especially for many tourists and New Yorkers.

One Vanderbilt has three observation decks: Ascent, Levitation, and Summit. Ascent is a special elevator with glass walls all around. Levitation is also a glass box-like observation deck with glass walls all around. Lastly, Summit is an open-air observation deck. It is located in the heart of New York, Grand Central Station, so it is a great place to take in the view of downtown New York.

A new reality awaits

A new reality awaits at the summit.
All the experiences that challenge, inspire and thrill you can have at Summit.

Summit's new experiences are divided into Ascent, Summit, and Ravitation. I will now introduce each new reality.

Ascent, an elevator that goes up to 324m high

The Ascent, made even more famous by Espa's photo shoot at Summit One Vanderbilt, is an all-transparent elevator with an exterior(?) design. It is the world's largest exterior glass-floored elevator, and you can enjoy thrilling views of New York City as you ascend. It is also a great place to take fantastic photos.

Summit Observatory, where the sun sets and becomes magical

At night, the magically beautiful New York City scenery comes into view. The place with the most amazing and fantastic view in New York right now is Summit One Vanderbilt. Enjoy the splendid night view of all of New York from the summit.

Levitation, a fantasy world made entirely of glass

Levitation, which is made of glass on all sides, is located 305m above the ground and is an observation deck made entirely of glass, making it dizzying just to stand there. Levitation is especially beautiful at sunset, and the liveliness conveyed by the reflected light is truly shockingly beautiful.

Here are some other must-see themes:

In addition to the themes introduced above, you must also see the 'Transcendence' located on the 91st floor. This place is made entirely of glass on all four sides and, uniquely, has a mirrored floor, giving the feeling that the space is infinitely expanding.

Also, Affinity is a great place to take pictures because of the silver balloon sculptures floating around. I also recommend visiting Reflect, where Yayoi Kusama's clouds are on display.

I recommend going at night rather than during the day.

Summit One Vanderbilt is really pretty during the day, but I recommend going at night. You might miss out on the special experience of seeing the lights of downtown New York reflected on it. I recommend seeing the night view as well.
