History of Office Leasing in Murray Hill

Murray Hill shares its historical roots from colonial America when 18-th century merchant Robert Murray rose to prominence by establishing himself as the City’s premier merchant. Amassing a fortune, Robert Murray went on to construct his residence on, what now would be considered Park Avenue and 36th Street. His mansion would become known as Murray Hill, due to its elevation from the hill it rested on. In the mid 19th century Murray Hill would house the City’s upper class, with residents such as J.P. Morgan. Today the home of J.P. Morgan still stands as the Morgan Library and Museum. The construction of the United Nations headquarters shifted the ambiance of the district into a more work centered environment with a number of foreign consulates and commercial buildings defining the district today.
