The
construction of Grand Central created a mini-city
within New York, including the Commodore Hotel
and various office buildings. It spurred construction
throughout the neighborhood in the 1920s including
the Chrysler Building. In 1928, the New York
Central built its headquarters in a 34-story
building (now called the Helmsley Building)
straddling Park Avenue on the north side of
the Terminal.
The design for Grand Central was an innovation
in the way transit hubs were designed, and
continues to influence designers to this day.
