Airbnb Buys Historic Park Ave Building | Real Estate News
Description
Airbnb just dropped a bombshell: they’ve bought the historic 281 Park Avenue South building—once tied to Anna Delvey’s infamous hustle—for $81 million, marking their first major NYC office. The Beaux Arts landmark, originally built in 1894 as the Church Missions House and later owned by Aby Rosen’s RFR, is now set to house over 600 employees. Despite facing crushing regulatory headwinds that nearly erased 90% of their listings and fierce opposition from hotel lobbies and tenant groups, Airbnb is doubling down on New York—with CEO Brian Chesky calling it a long-term commitment. This bold move signals a defiant pivot as they transform a building steeped in drama into their new NYC HQ.
