It is located on the eastern side of Park Avenue between 41st and 42nd streets, across from Grand Central Terminal to the north and adjacent to 110 East 42nd Street to the east.
  The Pershing Square Building was designed in the Romanesque Revival style by Sloan & Robertson in conjunction with York and Sawyer.

The building is located directly above the New York City Subway's Grand Central–42nd Street station.
  The Pershing Square Building, as well as 110 East 42nd Street, were built on the site of the Grand Union Hotel. Construction started in 1921 and was completed in 1923. Ownership of the Pershing Square Building passed to several companies; the latest such change occurred in 2010, when SL Green Realty bought the building. It was made a New York City designated landmark in 2016.
