About La Premiere, 230 West 55th Street
This attractive, 31-story tower was erected in 1979 and has 230 rental apartments.
The beige-brick tower has extensive sidewalk landscaping and its double-height, windowed lobby faces its mid-block plaza. The building is free-standing except for its south façade along Broadway where it adjoins a two-story retail building.
This building is directly across 55th Street from the Park Imperial mixed-use tower that was scheduled for completion in 2002 and is catty-corner to the limestone Mutual of New York building that is topped by its illuminated weather spire. This building is also across Broadway from the pleasant Beaux Arts-style Best Western Woodward Hotel and there is another Beaux Arts-style medium hotel, the Americania, on the southwest corner of Broadway at 54th Street, not far tp the east from the site of the infamous Studio 54 discotheque that flourished in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
This is a very lively area with many major skyscrapers nearby as well Carnegie Hall and several delicatessens famous for their gargantuan sandwiches.
This building has a concierge, a garage, many balconies, a bicycle room and discrete air-conditioners. While many buildings along Broadway that angles through midtown align with the street, this tower is bent slightly along its Broadway frontage.
There is excellent public transportation and this location is convenient to the Theater District and the midtown office district.
It has no health club and there is considerable traffic.
