JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s Jamie Dimon has said he wants to build a new world-class headquarters for the 21st century. Now he’s hiring the architect behind Apple Inc.’s futuristic offices to design the new Park Avenue tower.
Foster + Partners will serve as the lead architect on the project, said bank spokesman Joseph Evangelisti. The JPMorgan building will be the second on the famous boulevard for the firm, whose founder, Norman Foster, is a Pritzker Prize winner. It also designed 425 Park Ave., under construction a few blocks to the north. The bank didn’t disclose details of the design.
