JPMorgan’s long-awaited plans for a new corporate headquarters in Manhattan are now officially on file with the city.

The banking giant’s upcoming tower at 270 Park Avenue topped June’s list of the largest projects coming to New York City by a wide margin. The 57-story tower would span about 1.9 million square feet, more than double the size of June’s second place project: a roughly 415,000-square-foot development from Eliot Spitzer and the Related Companies at 451 10th Avenue.

Overall, the list was split between three projects in Manhattan, three projects in Brooklyn, three projects in Queens and one project in the Bronx. No Staten Island projects made the cut last month.

The full list of June’s top 10 biggest real estate projects is below:

1. 270 Park Avenue, Manhattan

The City Council unanimously approved plans for the project in May, and the finance company filed plans for it with the Department of Buildings in June. The development will span about 1.9 million square feet and stand 57 stories tall. It is the first project to take advantage of the city’s Midtown East rezoning.
