    51 Astor Place is a 12-story, 400,000-square-foot office tower in the New York City's East Village developed by Edward J. Minskoff and designed by architect Fumihiko Maki. The project completed construction in 2013 and according to estimates cost over $300 million. Its biggest tenant is IBM Watson, which occupies 120,000 square feet in the building.

    Initially the project was criticized by many who felt the glass-box look of the building was inconsistent with surrounding neighborhood. Others criticized the prospect of starting such a major commercial project during a recession, as well as expressing doubts about the high initial rental prices.

    Apart from IBM Watson, major tenants include 1stdibs, the Daily Mail and Claren Road, the last of which leases the 25,000-square-foot top floor. The asking rental price for the floor was $118 per square foot, and the transaction is believed to be the most expensive per-square-foot deal in the history of the Midtown South area.

Minskoff plans to build a 410,000-square-foot mixed-use property on the site, with office and retail space and one floor reserved for educational use. The lease also entitles Cooper Union to participate in the property's future income. The new building is expected to be ready for occupancy by 2010.
