'''4 Times Square''' (also known as '''151 West 42nd Street''' or '''One Five One'''; formerly the '''Condé Nast Building''') is a 48-story<ref name="fxcollab"/> [[skyscraper]] at [[Times Square]] in the [[Midtown Manhattan]] neighborhood of [[New York City]], New York, U.S. Located at 1472 [[Broadway (Manhattan)|Broadway]], between [[42nd Street (Manhattan)|42nd]] and 43rd Streets, the building measures {{cvt|809|ft}} tall to its roof and {{cvt|1118|ft}} tall to its antenna. The building was designed by [[FXCollaborative|Fox & Fowle]] and developed by the [[Durst Organization]]. 4 Times Square, and the [[Bank of America Tower (Manhattan)|Bank of America Tower]] to the east, occupy an entire [[city block]].

Fox & Fowle planned a masonry facade facing south and east, as well as a glass facade facing west and north. The northwest corner of the building's base contains the eight-story cylindrical facade of [[Nasdaq MarketSite]], which includes a large LED sign. The top of 4 Times Square includes an antenna mast and four large illuminated signs on each side which read ‘[[H&M]]’. The building contains {{cvt|1600000|sqft|m2}} of floor space, much of which was originally taken by publishing company [[Condé Nast]] and law firm [[Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom|Skadden Arps]]. The lowest three stories contain retail space while the fourth story has a food hall for tenants, originally designed by [[Frank Gehry]] for Condé Nast. 4 Times Square is an early example of [[green design]] in commercial skyscrapers in the United States.

During the 1980s and early 1990s, Park Tower Realty and the [[Prudential Insurance Company of America]] had planned to develop a tower for the site as part of a wide-ranging redevelopment of West 42nd Street. After long opposing a tower there, [[Douglas Durst]] proposed an office building on the site in late 1995. Condé Nast and Skadden Arps leased the majority of the building in 1996, and the structure was finished in 1999. After Condé Nast and Skadden Arps moved out of the building during the 2010s, a variety of office tenants have occupied 4 Times Square. Several modifications have been made to the building after it opened, including an expansion of the antenna mast atop the building in 2003, as well as a renovation in the late 2010s.
