Overview of Olympic Tower at 641 Fifth Avenue

Olympic Tower, a 52-story mixed-use skyscraper at 641 Fifth Avenue, stands as one of Midtown Manhattan's notable architectural achievements. Developed by shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis, the building represents a significant addition to Fifth Avenue's prestigious landscape between 51st and 52nd Streets.

The tower's design efficiently allocates its upper portion to residential use, with 226 apartments occupying the top 29 floors. These residences feature thoughtfully designed layouts with 9-foot-high ceilings and large windows that frame dramatic views of the Manhattan skyline and the adjacent St. Patrick's Cathedral.

Each apartment includes enclosed kitchens and well-appointed bathrooms as standard features. The building maintains a comprehensive service infrastructure with 24-hour concierge, elevator attendants, and emergency electrical backup systems to ensure resident comfort and security.

Resident amenities include a fitness center, bicycle storage, and convenient on-site services such as a barber shop and hair salon. The building's sophisticated design and service offerings reflect its status as a premier Midtown address.

Olympic Tower's Fifth Avenue location places it at the heart of Manhattan's cultural and commercial district, offering immediate access to world-class shopping and dining establishments. The proximity to the Museum of Modern Art and the architectural splendor of St. Patrick's Cathedral enhances its cultural significance.

The building's position on Fifth Avenue provides residents with convenient access to Central Park, numerous corporate headquarters, and various transportation options. Its mixed-use nature, combining residential and commercial spaces, exemplifies efficient urban planning while maintaining luxury standards.

As one of Fifth Avenue's distinguished addresses, Olympic Tower continues to represent the intersection of luxury residential living and prime commercial real estate in Midtown Manhattan,

Broker & Buyer Comments

Add Your Own Comment

This "prime Fifth Avenue address" offers "spectacular Central Park and city views" in a building that's keeping pace with modern demands through its "newly renovated lobby" and "refreshed laundry facilities." Located steps from St. Patrick's Cathedral, the building maintains "high standards" with a "thorough board process" and specific upgrade requirements. Residents enjoy a "full complement of amenities" including an exercise room and package room, though prospective buyers should note the mandatory HVAC upgrade requirement.
