Work& Announces Flagship Work&Mother Suite at Vornado Realty Trust's 1290 Avenue of the Americas

Opening October 2025, Expanded Amenity Offerings Set New Standard for Workplace Wellness

NEW YORK, Aug. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Vornado Realty Trust is furthering its commitment to creating premier, human-centered workplaces with the addition of a Work&Mother Suite at 1290 Avenue of the Americas. This newly outsourced, fully serviced mother's room will debut in October 2025, joining Vornado's robust WorkLife program at this landmark Midtown tower.

This announcement coincides with National Breastfeeding Month and National Wellness Month, underscoring Vornado's leadership in delivering environments that support tenants' evolving needs and foster inclusive, compliant workplaces.

A Landmark Defined by Investment in People

1290 Avenue of the Americas—Vornado's 43-story, 2.1 million-square-foot Class A, best in class office tower—has recently undergone a sweeping $50 million workplace modernization. The LEED Gold–certified property will debut an expansive amenity collection in Fall 2025 including:

• The 17th-Floor Pavilion & Meadow: a sprawling 10,000-square foot landscaped terrace and 15,000 square foot pavilion form an indoor-outdoor complex of meeting rooms, bars, lounges, and town hall that are open to all tenants for both daily work and private functions for up to 230 guests.
  
  
• A tenant-only Wellness and Fitness Center with locker rooms, elevated shower suites, and end-of-trip bike facilities.
  
  
• Maple Hospitality Group, celebrated for its acclaimed steakhouse Maple & Ash, will debut its first Manhattan restaurant on the ground floor at 51^st Street
  
  
• Now, a Work&Mother Suite: a turnkey lactation amenity providing privacy, comfort, and support for working parents.

Meeting a Critical Workplace Standard

The Work&Mother Suite brings a premium, fully outsourced approach to lactation space management. 1290 Avenue of the Americas' occupants and guests will benefit from:

• Private, secure rooms equipped with hospital-grade pumps and refrigeration.
  
  
• Smart booking and access technology ensuring privacy and compliance with the PUMP Act.
  
  
• Stocked supplies and educational resources for new parents.

By providing fully equipped spaces on-site, the suite gives valuable time back to mothers who pump—eliminating the need to carry pump bags to and from the office and making their workday more seamless.

The impact of this type of support is clear: 90% of mothers using Work&'s lactation resources are still breastfeeding at six months, compared to just 10% nationally.

By partnering with Work&Mother, Vornado ensures tenants have access to a critical workplace amenity—without the operational burden of managing it internally.

Leadership Perspectives

Glen J. Weiss, Executive Vice President – Office Leasing & Co-Head of Real Estate at Vornado Realty Trust:

"Our WorkLife program at 1290 is a testament to our commitment to create workplaces that elevate both performance and personal well-being. The addition of a Work&Mother Suite is an integral extension of our 'Work Naturally' program—providing a thoughtful, accommodating, and high-quality solution for working parents that reinforces our position as a leader in the tenant-focused work environment."

Jules Lairson, Co-Founder & COO of Work&:

"Vornado has set the standard for how owners can address the needs of modern workplaces. By bringing Work&Mother into 1290 Avenue of the Americas, we are ensuring that mothers returning to work have access to spaces designed with dignity, privacy, and care at the forefront."

Setting a New Benchmark

The debut of the Work&Mother Suite at 1290 Avenue of the Americas positions Vornado as one of the few property owners in the country proactively integrating outsourced, high-touch lactation solutions into a Class A building's core amenity program.

This investment will not only support compliance and ESG objectives but also enhance recruitment, retention, and customer satisfaction—proving that care and performance can thrive together.
