00:00The really unique thing about this building, and that I find really interesting, is that it's raised 80 feet off the ground.
00:06So that's really different than a lot of the other offices around here, and it's purposeful.
00:10And the executives at J.P. Morgan Chase told me it's because they wanted to be good neighbors to their fellow New Yorkers here.
00:16They wanted to create a sense of walkability, especially during, you know, a crowded lunch rush like today here in New York.
00:22Inside the 60-story skyscraper are renovations that Arena cites as ways to elevate the office experience.
00:28This includes three times more fresh air, up to 30 percent larger windows to maximize natural light, and 40 percent more hospitality space.
00:37The building will also be fitted with lighting technology that can mimic natural circadian rhythms or even be customized to personal preferences.
00:45Talk to me about the tech in this building.
00:46Is there any new tech that's really exciting to you?
00:49Any new ways you're using A.I. to help with this?
00:51So I think all of the above.
00:53There is lots of new tech in a building like this.
00:56All the major systems, the elevator system, the security system, the emergency power systems, the air systems, they are all so much smarter in 2024 than they were in 2015.
01:11They'll know when you register for a conference room, how you like the temperature, etc.
01:16They'll know when you show up at Starbucks in the morning or in whatever the coffee shops we have, how you like your latte.
