304 Park Avenue South https://slgreen.com/properties/304-park-avenue-south

304 Park Avenue South is a 12-story boutique office building that is ideally located on the southwest corner of 23rd Street. The building is just steps away from the beautiful Madison Square Park and within walking distance of both Gramercy Park and Union Square Park. It sits in the center of some of the city’s most exceptional restaurants and is surrounded by every other amenity needed, from shopping to subway access. The 6 subway line sits directly in front of the building with nearby access to the subway lines 4, 5, N, R, W, F, and V. 

So, going to Google maps one can see the entrance to SpiN is actually round the corner on 23rd Street : https://imgur.com/a/NvvQllg The stairs leading down to the subway can also be seen to the left of the image.

And here's the entrance to the building even though the doorway is actually located on 23rd https://imgur.com/a/HJlrzyH

About the subway https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/23rd_Street_(IRT_Lexington_Avenue_Line)

23rd Street is a local station on the IRT Lexington Avenue Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of Park Avenue South and 23rd Street in Manhattan, it is served by 6 trains at all times, <6> trains during weekdays in the peak direction, and 4 trains during late night hours.

IRT Lexington https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRT_Lexington_Avenue_Line

The Lexington Avenue Line begins in lower Manhattan at the inner loop of the abandoned South Ferry station. North of the station is a merge with the tracks of the Joralemon Street Tunnel from Brooklyn, which become the express tracks.

From Brooklyn Bridge, the line continues northward in a four-across track layout under Centre Street, Lafayette Street, Fourth Avenue, and Park Avenue South until 42nd Street. At this point, the beginning of Metro-North Railroad's Park Avenue tunnel in Grand Central Terminal forces the Lexington Avenue Line to shift slightly eastward to Lexington Avenue; its Grand Central–42nd Street station is located on the diagonal between Park and Lexington. Just south of Grand Central, a single non-revenue track connects the IRT 42nd Street Shuttle to the southbound local track; this was part of the original IRT subway alignment.

On May 27, 2015, the New York City Council approved plans for a developer to build One Vanderbilt, a 65-story skyscraper. The MTA mandated that the developers pay for station improvements at Grand Central to allow for the building's construction.[55] In 2015, SL Green, the developer, gave $220 million toward the building's construction,[56] of which two-thirds of the money would be used for station redesign;[57] this marked the largest private investment to date to the New York City Subway system.

SL Green are the realty company that looks after 304 Park Avenue S.
