New York, NY — JRM Construction Management has completed The Exchange, a landmark culinary and amenity destination within JPMorgan Chase’s new global headquarters at 270 Park Avenue. Delivered in partnership with AECOM Tishman, the project spans a technically complex interior build-out across 28 floors and anchors the tower’s workplace amenities with a hospitality-driven market concept.
At the heart of The Exchange is a 19-station gourmet food hall inspired by renowned restaurateur Danny Meyer. The destination blends dining, convenience, and social spaces designed to enhance the employee experience. Offerings include Morgan’s Irish Pub, Park Avenue Express grab-and-go, desk-side food delivery, and nationally recognized brands such as Sweetgreen, Daily Provisions, Little Dirt Candy, and Starbucks. Coffee bars on every floor and a specialty café, The Corner, further elevate the workplace environment.
Beyond the guest-facing experience, The Exchange represents one of the most technically demanding scopes within the 270 Park Avenue tower. JRM executed advanced coordination and precision engineering to deliver complex installations, including custom cooking hoods suspended 28 feet above the food hall, 27-foot-tall structural studs craned into place to support massive stone panels, and more than 30,000 square feet of end-grain Bavarian white oak flooring finished on site.
Signature features include the restoration and installation of a 1969 Airstream trailer reimagined as a juice bar, large-scale fire shutter systems delivered by tower crane, and two major art installations—a suspended constellation of 357 hand-blown glass spheres by a Czechoslovakian artist and a ceramic feature wall composed of hand-baked plates by a UK-based artist.
Together, the project underscores JRM Construction Management’s capability to deliver highly complex, hospitality-forward environments at scale, integrating construction, engineering, and craftsmanship to support one of the world’s most ambitious corporate headquarters developments.
