Overview
Soaring with architectural audacity, 111 West 57th Street is one of the slimmest and tallest residential buildings on Earth. A blend of new construction and landmark preservation, it merges the historic Steinway Hall with a modern supertall glass tower.
The residences offer some of the most dramatic views in NYC — framed by full-height windows and ceiling heights up to 14 feet. However, the tapered design means smaller floor plates and slightly unconventional layouts in the tower units.
This is a trophy property in every sense. It’s a bold investment in architecture and aesthetic legacy rather than utility, and it attracts global capital seeking exclusivity and skyline dominance.
