ABKCO Music & Records

One of Manhattan’s music landmarks, ABKCO Music & Records operates in a Midtown West building whose elevators deliver visitors past its 11th-floor office. From licensing to remastering, catalog management to synchronization, the company handles the mechanics behind record labels. Revenue streams include music publishing and rights revenues, reflecting an archive built over decades of recording history. Day-to-day operations keep the company in dialogue with contemporary licensing demands while preserving vintage sessions.

Directly above the Flatiron district, the 85 5th Ave 11th floor, New York, NY 10003 address puts this archive close to Broadway rehearsal rooms and the South Street Seaport recording studios. Its location across from Madison Square Park offers quick walks to vinyl shops and publishing firms for easy deliveries and drop-offs. Outside the lobby doors, the 5th Avenue traffic and 23rd Street pedestrian pulse remind newcomers why real estate in this wedge of Midtown stays in constant flux.

Skip the elevator search—call *(212) 399-0300* for questions about catalog access or schedule your way up to the 11th floor. Shortcuts on the way: consult the neighborhood map for stair-free entries through the Bleecker Street station passage. Once inside the 5th Avenue corridor, the commercial pulse of the Flatiron collides with the quiet halls of legacy businesses—even the elevator walls, sheathed in aged brass, taste the vintage air twenty years older than the grocer on the lower floor.
