The 49-story building is located in the center of Manhattan , right on New York's famous Times Square . With a height of 221 meters, the tower is one of the tallest skyscrapers directly around Times Square, but is only the 42-tallest building in New York City itself (as of 2016).

The building is on 42nd Street between Broadway and Seventh Avenues; the main official address is 7 Times Square, New York, NY 10036. Side entrances exist at 1457 Broadway and 157 West 41st Street.
