111 West 57th Street Building

Address: 111 West 57th Street, Manhattan (Midtown), New York, NY 10019, USA

111 West 57th Street is a super-slender residential skyscraper on Manhattan’s 57th Street corridor, commonly associated with the city’s upscale high-rise developments. It is widely recognised for its narrow profile and luxury residential use.

The tower contains high-end condominium apartments stacked in a very tall, narrow form that makes it visually prominent on the Midtown skyline. Architectural attention has focused on its proportions and the integration of a reconstructed historic base with a new tower above.

Developed in the late 2010s and completed in the early 2020s, the building was part of a wave of supertall, high-end residential projects on 57th Street. Its design and construction drew attention for engineering approaches required by a very slender plan.

The building stands on West 57th Street in Midtown Manhattan, immediately south of Central Park and within the area commonly called Billionaires’ Row.

• Slender residential tower: Noted for its extreme slenderness among modern residential towers in Midtown Manhattan and for luxury condominium apartments occupying most floors.
• Architect and location: Designed by SHoP Architects and located on 57th Street within Manhattan’s ‘Billionaires’ Row’ near the southern edge of Central Park.

The building sits on Billionaires’ Row near the southern edge of Central Park. Best public viewpoints are along West 57th Street and the nearby portions of Central Park; it is served by multiple subway lines (N/Q/R/W, F, M, 1, A/C/B/D at nearby stations).

• Respect that 111 West 57th is a private residential tower - public access is restricted and tours are not available.
• View and photograph the tower from nearby public plazas along 57th Street and Central Park South for the most dramatic angles.
• Note its nickname 'Steinway Tower' in architectural coverage - press pieces often cite it as one of the city's slenderest skyscrapers.
