The 48-story, mixed-use tower known as The Continental at 885 Sixth Avenue has 31,000-square feet of retail space, a floor of offices and 336 rental apartments.

The glass tower was built by Atlantic Realty Development and occupies the southeast corner of the Avenue of the Americas and 32nd Street overlooking Greeley and Herald Squares.

The building, which was designed by Costas Kondylis, is also known as Tower III as it extends through to 111 West 31st Street.

The building has a fitness center on the fourth floor where the tower is setback.

This block of 32nd Street is distinguished by the city's most impressive skybridge that used to connect two buildings belonging to Gimbel's, the famous competitor to Macy's.

It also has a large, mid-block rental building known as the Epic and at Seventh Avenue the Hotel Pennsylvania that was designed by McKim, Mead & White that some preservationists campaigned unsuccessfully to declared an official city landmark and that Vornado is considering redeveloping with a major tower.

885 Sixth Avenue has views to the northeast across Herald Square that not only include dramatic vistas of the Empire State Building but also of the former Martinique and McAlpin hotels whose facades are among the finest on pre-war non-office buildings in Midtown West.

The building has a 24-hour concierge, a very handsome, two-story-high marble lobby, automobile and bicycle parking, a 50-foot infinity-edge pool, a spa and fitness center, a gaming lounge, a very wide fireplace in the residents lounge, a garden terrace and catering kitchen, and complimentary continental breakfast.
