Which building again served as the Elias-Clarke exterior and lobby?

The building that again served as the Elias-Clarke exterior and lobby was 1221 Avenue of the Americas.

The Manhattan skyscraper, formerly known as the McGraw-Hill Building, returns as the visual identity of the fictional Elias-Clarke publishing company. Its exterior and lobby were used in the 2006 film and reused for The Devil Wears Prada 2, creating a deliberate link between the two stories.

The address is on Sixth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, in the Rockefeller Center area. The building’s broad plaza, red-granite piers, and glass bands give Elias-Clarke the polished, imposing corporate presence the fictional publisher needs.

The most common confusion is the name. “McGraw-Hill Building” is the former name, while “1221 Avenue of the Americas” is the address and current name used in the stored answer. They identify the same building, not two separate filming locations. The interior Runway offices, by contrast, were studio-built sets.
