One Penn Plaza is currently owned by Vornado Realty Trust. It was previously owned by Helmsley-Spear Inc., which sold the building for $420 million in the late 1990s.[7]
In 2009, plans were made to install a cogeneration plant in order to heat the building more efficiently.[8] By 2010, it was reported that when the new plant was activated, it cut the building's carbon output nearly in half.[9] The lobby was refurbished in 1995[10] and underwent another refurbishment in 2019.[11] The building had been rebranded as Penn 1 by 2021.[12][13] A restaurant called The Landing opened on the second floor of the rebranded Penn 1 in 2022.[14][15]
