Such as XXX Park, XXX 5TH, in Manhattan.
Or anywhere else in the world.

Just curious, did the Rebbe make a significance out of 770 itself or is it just the coincidence of it being the  HQ? AFAIK other chassidim don't give the same significance to their HQ.
I've wondered the same. There's obviously no significance in the number, and if they would've bought a building down the block it could've been 720 Eastern Parkway.

It would be a travesty to have a shul with the gematria of בית שח

They probably believe that the building was destined for greatness and chosen by GD. In other words, it is by design that it is 770/beis mashiach. Couldn't have been any other way.

A) 770 was referred to by its address for years before the Rebbe spoke of the significance of the number itself
B) many other landmarks (such is apartment buildings) are referred to by their address.
C) as per the Baal Shem Tov’s teachings of hashgacha protis, the Rebbe's teachings are filled with lessons learned from what may seem to be insignificant.
So yes, it was השגחה פרטית that the address of the building bought in 1940 was 770, which not coincidentally is significant for reasons the Rebbe said.

Had the address been something else by השגחה פרטית, the Rebbe would certainly have found meaning and significance in that.

But all it is, is an address so the mailman knows where to deliver the mail.

And let's say they would've been offered a building that the gematria of the address was גיהנום, you're gonna tell me they wouldn't have bought it because of the gematria?!

"Free 30 day trial One thing’s for certain — if the crabs took the N train to the end of the line in Astoria, they’d better skedaddle fast. The Astoria-Ditmars Boulevard station is surrounded by several Greek seafood and Japanese sushi restaurants."

Not that the lubavitcher rebbe needs backup, but you should know that the munkatcher rebbe zt"l would decide which train-car (!!) to use based on its gematriya

Why obviously no significance? The Baal Shem Tov said every single thing in the withdrawal that happens is behashgocho protis. Especially since the Rebbe explained the significance.

Or just break it off into a thread of its own. "770 and it's significance".
