About Milan, 300 East 55th Street
This very sleek and stunning apartment tower rises on the former site of El Morocco, the glamorous nightclub that was famous for its celebrity clientele and its blue-and-white zebra-striped banquettes.
For several decades, El Morocco and the Stork Club were the most elegant and exclusive nightclubs in the city in the pre-disco era.
This 32-story tower was designed by Peter Claman of SLCE Architects and developed by the World Wide Group of which Victor Elmaleh, who is a very fine artist, is a principal.
Most of the 118 condominium units are two-bedrooms. The top penthouse has three fireplaces. The lobby and atrium club room were designed by Jay Valgora of Studio and the outdoor bamboo garden was designed by Ken Smith.
The building has an 8-story base and chamfered corners and some angled windows.
The glass curtain wall is one of the most handsome in the city.
All apartments have 10-foot ceilings and state-of-the-art kitchens with Miele and Viking appliances. Master bathrooms have deep soaking tubs and separate glass steam showers with double basin teak vanities. Penthouse units have wraparound terraces with staggering city and river views.
This neighborhood is close to Midtown and the Sutton Place and Beekman Place neighborhoods and abounds with many restaurants.
