Located in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, the World Diamond Tower is at 580 Fifth Avenue, NY, NY.
Two years before the start of the Great Depression, famed architects of their era, Warren & Wetmore, were commissioned to design a 33-story Art Deco building, to be known as the Empire Trust Building. Despite being in the third decade of their partnership, Warren & Wetmore were in for a challenge when owner/builder Max Kramer called them in on the 580 project. A brand new 12-story structure already existed in the location of 1-11 West 47th Street, starting only 100 feet down 47th Street running west from the 5th Avenue corner.
As a virtual diamond city, 580 Fifth Avenue offers its tenants a host of on-premise amenities and services geared to the diamond industry. Among them:
Brinks, Malca-Amit, Dunbar Armored and Ferrari Express - the leading armored transport companies take care of customs and shipping needs, both inbound and out. With 20 years in the building, Malca-Amit offers door-to-door, secure courier deliveries around the world.
Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) designation in process.
A post office which handles registered gem and jewelry shipments.
Major vaults with safety deposit boxes. The building's underground vault, replete with a 22-ton door, offers 24/7 security for precious goods, provided by DGA, who also provide security for more than 90 percent of the building's tenants. A specialized sound system in the vault allows any dealer in the vault to be paged from the DDC.
Customs and customs brokers for shipping and receiving.
Controlled 24 hour ingress and egress, state-of-the-art digital security cameras, high speed T-1 lines and satellite television available on each floor.
580 is home to: The Diamond Dealers Club, The Gemological Institute of America (GIA), Brinks, DGA Central Station and American Gemological Laboratories, among other world-class companies.
