Bevill, Bresler & Schulman - NYC Office

The project scope is to design a New York City satellite office for Bevill, Bresler & Schulman.
The office is located in the 11-story Olivetti Building (formerly the Pepsi-Cola Building) at 500 Park Avenue, an office and residential condominium building on the southwest corner of Park Avenue and 59th Street in the Midtown Manhattan neighborhood of New York City. The original Pepsi-Cola Building along Park Avenue was constructed from 1958 to 1960 and designed by Gordon Bunshaft and Natalie de Blois of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM).
The company was formed in Newark in 1972 by Robert L. Bevill, now its chairman; Gilbert C. Schulman, president, and Alan Bresler. Mr. Bresler sold his interest in the mid-1970's but remained as a salesman.
On March 04, 1985 drawings are issued for a lobby alteration.
