One Vanderbilt is a tower located north of the “Grand Central” rail terminal in midtown Manhattan, which was undergoing maintenance on the afternoon of 03/21/2023.

A spokesman for the One Vanderbilt skyscraper said the tremor was due to repairs to elevators and that no one was injured.

A spokesperson told the Daily Mail: "Earlier today, an external elevator at One Vanderbilt malfunctioned while mechanics were servicing it, causing the building to vibrate." "The Summit (the terrace of the tower, which has become a New York landmark) was closed to the public, no one was injured and there is no danger to the building or its occupants."

General admission to One Vanderbilt is $39, rising to $59 for those who want to experience the glass elevator, which climbs 12 floors.

The main attraction of the tower is the so-called Summit One Vanderbilt, which includes an outdoor terrace over 365 meters high, which it is accessed by transparent glass elevators that go up 110 meters along the side of the building, providing a beautiful view of New York.

Dominic Dunn, managing director of KPF, had a few things to say about One Vanderbilt:

“As a new Midtown hub, One Vanderbilt [tower] will ease GCT commuting patterns by providing additional direct access to all levels of mobility that power or will power Grand Central in the future, […] As its unique shape enhances the New York skyline experience, the KPF's design also creates a ground floor experience that welcomes thousands of passengers, becoming a design hallmark for our dense and busy city. busy”.
