Beam Suntory

Beam Suntory’s relocation from Chicago to New York presented an opportunity to create a global headquarters that expressed more than a new way of working. The 100,000 SF space at 11 Madison Avenue needed to support flexibility and collaboration while reflecting the company’s hospitality culture, portfolio of brands and Japanese heritage.

G&T supported the delivery of a workplace that balances focused work with spaces designed for connection and experience. Flexible workstations and interactive conference rooms sit alongside event spaces, two bars, a tasting room and lounges, while a rotating digital installation from Tokyo’s Suntory Museum of Art introduces an evolving cultural element.

The headquarters creates a setting where employees, clients and guests can engage with Beam Suntory’s business and brands in different ways. Workplace, hospitality and culture come together within a single environment, giving the company a distinctive global home in the heart of Manhattan.
