767 Third Avenue, is located between 47th and 48th streets on the East side of Third Avenue in the Turtle Bay neighborhood. As with other Kaufman properties, the building is designed to maximize both the enjoyment of tenants and passerby. In the design of 767 Third Avenue, the Kaufman's had architects return to traditional materials, using brick to sheath a sensuously elliptical tower, while also utilizing a number of materials that had not been seen in recent years. The elevator and lobby areas are enclosed in oak and glass allowing for a feeling of natural openness to the area.

Outside areas present a graphic panorama. The entire street floor is completely open, with comfortable seating. The highlight of this area is the world's largest chess board 3 stories high and placed on a blank wall of the adjacent apartment building. Each chess piece is a disc, 2-1/2 feet in diameter. The chessboard features the end of a famous historical chess match between world champions. At high noon each Wednesday, a workman goes aloft in a "cherry picker" to advance the game. A flag flies throughout the week indicating which color is to play next. 767 Third Avenue is recognized as one of Manhattans signature buildings.
