1500 Broadway is a skyscraper located in Times Square, Midtown Manhattan, New York City. The skyscraper was completed in 1972 by Arlen Realty & Development Corporation, with a height of 392 feet (119 meters), and has 34 floors.[1] 1500 Broadway is famous for the seven-story NASDAQ ticker tape display that wraps around the building and for the glass-fronted studio of ABC's Good Morning America television show.[2] Replacing the Hotel Claridge, 1500 Broadway occupies an entire block front on the east side of Broadway between 43rd Street and 44th Street, and comprises 500,000 square feet of office and retail space. The property was acquired by Tamares Group in 1995.[2]

Tenants include Times Square Studios and ABC Studios, Disney, NASDAQ, Sunrise Brokers LLC, Hewitt Associates, Fair Isaac, Starbucks, Essence Magazine, Edelman Public Relations Worldwide, and IIG Capital.[2][3][4] In October 2022,[5] a Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips restaurant is planned to open at Suite 105 in 1500 Broadway.[6] The Beijing-based, English-language newspaper China Daily publishes a U.S. edition which is also based at 1500 Broadway.[7]
