A Playful Break for Empire State Building Office Tenants

What Office Amenities Does the Empire Lounge Offer?
The Empire Lounge is a tenant-only amenity on the Club Level of the Empire State Building that includes a lounge and bar, a multi-sport court, an all-hands space, and two golf simulators.
Puppy yoga is the latest in ESRT’s tenant programming at the Empire Lounge. Tenants can book these spaces for their own events for all-hands presentations, happy hours, or team building activities with colleagues.
How Does Tenant Programming Enhance the Workplace Experience?
Office amenities and tenant programming work together. A shared space provides the setting; an event gives tenants an opportunity to use it in a different way.
ESRT’s puppy yoga event connected a physical amenity with an experience created for the people who work in the building. It also offered a shared activity outside meetings and day-to-day responsibilities.
For companies that evaluate office amenities in NYC, programming is a useful part of the conversation. Along with the spaces themselves, consider how a landlord activates them and what opportunities employees have to participate.
