This 47-story mixed-use tower at 66 West 38th Street was erected by the Gotham Organization and the owners of M & J Trimming in 2002.

It is known as Atlas New York and it contains 374 rental apartments on floors 5 through 47, 46,000 square feet of office space on floors 2 through 4 that has its own address, 1010 Avenue of the Americas, and 16,000 square feet of retail space on the ground, second and basement levels in a separate condominium.

Schuman Lichtenstein Claman & Efron was the architect and Stephen Alton was the interior designer of the common interior spaces.

Twenty percent of the apartments are "affordable."

The building has two setbacks on its west facade facing the Avenue of the Americas.

The building replaced two empty lots and two mid-rise commercial buildings and it used air rights from over five other buildings. M&J owned the two lots on the Avenue of the Americas where it had a button annex and a home decor store that were destroyed in a fire in 1997. Its main store was unharmed at 1008 Avenue of the Americas.

M&J selected Gotham to develop the lots with the air rights over the existing store and then the partners got more development rights and $90 million in financing in tax-exempt bonds sponsored by the State Housing Agency.

Apartments range in size from about 435 to 1,156 square feet.

The building has a 24-hour attended lobby, a garage, valet services, bicycle storage and kitchens have wild Applewood cabinetry and black GE appliances and many apartments have corner windows. The building is pet friendly and has a roof deck and a residents lounge with daily breakfast service.

It is close to Bryant Park, public transportation, Times Square, the Theater District and the Garment Center.
