Luxury Exhibition

The Jacob K. Javits Convention Center is known as “The Marketplace For The World” as each week it hosts large exhibitions and expositions. The Jacob Javits Convention Center is located New York City’s lower west side of Manhattan between Eleventh Avenue and Twelfth Avenue and 34th street and 39th street, overlooking the Hudson River. The Javits Center clearly stands out with its unique box façade covered by glass.

The Jacob K Javits Convention Center was designed by architects I. M. Pei and partners. The revolutionary space frame building was constructed in 1986 and named for United States Senator Jacob K. Javits, who died that year. The Center is operated and maintained by the New York City Convention Center Operating Corporation. The exhibit space has more than 675,000 square feet (62,700 m2). On October 16, 2006, a groundbreaking ceremony was held at the Javits Center to initiate construction of an expansion. The $1.7 billion dollar expansion project will expand the center's size by nearly $50 percent, and also include a hotel. The project is scheduled for completion by 2010, and when finished, will make the Jacob Javits Convention Center the 5th instead of the 18th largest convention center in the U.S.

Every month, the Jacob Javits Convention Center hosts multiple trade shows, exhibitions, expositions for diverse fields, services, and products. The center can accommodate about 85,000 visitors during an exhibition, and attracts about 3 million annual visitors, a significant portion of New York City’s tourism.
