The Gottesman family, which bought the Hippodrome in 1978, undertook a total overhaul of the building. The repositioning included a state-of-the-art, energy-efficient glass curtain wall, a gorgeous two-story lobby finished in Italian marble, limestone and silver leaf, and updated mechanical systems. The Class A Hippodrome now houses a number of well-known tenants, including American Express Publishing, Macy's International, Huron Group, Inc., the Direct Marketing Association and 5W Public Relations.
