111 West 57th Street Building
Affluent Manhattan residential supertall known for extreme slenderness
On Manhattan's Billionaires' Row near Central Park, 111 West 57th Street is a supertall, slender residential tower with Art Deco references; passersby photograph its narrow profile among Midtown luxury high-rises.
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.
