A new internal staircase connecting the two floors was also part of Ambassador's tenant build-out for American Capital Access. The construction required demolition as well as concrete and steel work, which all had to be done while maintaining office operations on the occupied 47th floor.

The attractive new staircase features a wood landing, custom bronze posts, cherry wood hand railings and fabric wall paneling.
