The first Hearst Building (1927) was a six-story Art Deco structure by Joseph Urban and George P. Post & Sons. The current addition of 46 stories by renowned British architect Norman Foster (1994 Gold Medalist) is built on top of the original. Foster’s addition is the first in New York City to receive a Gold LEED certified rating.
