Overview of Stella Tower at 425 West 50th Street

Stella Tower is a distinguished example of 1927 Art Deco architecture, originally designed by renowned architect Ralph Walker for the New York Telephone Company. Named after Walker's wife, this 17 story beige brick building at 425 West 50th Street in Hell's Kitchen showcases intricate handcrafted masonry, dramatic setbacks, and decorative piers that exemplify the era's craftsmanship. The same development team behind the acclaimed Walker Tower conversion - JDS Development, Property Market Associates, and Starwood Properties - transformed the upper floors into 51 luxury condominiums while preserving commercial space for Verizon and maintaining the building's historic character.

The conversion, executed by Cetra/Ruddy architects, features apartments with 10 to 14 foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the spaces with natural light. Common luxury finishes throughout include custom hand laid oak flooring, Smallbone of Devizes European oak cabinetry, polished concrete countertops, and comprehensive Miele appliance packages. Master bathrooms are particularly striking with Black Zeus marble floors in chevron mosaic patterns, radiant floor heating, steam showers, and cast iron soaking tubs, while secondary baths feature distinctive blackened steel mirrors that glide over floating walnut shelves.

The building's four penthouses feature wood burning fireplaces and expansive private terraces up to 934 square feet with sweeping views of the Hudson River and Manhattan skyline. Many residences offer flexible layouts with home offices that can function as additional bedrooms, and several units boast floor through configurations with multiple exposures. Residents enjoy white glove amenities including a 24 hour attended lobby with ornate Art Deco detailing, a state-of-the-art fitness center, residents' lounge with pantry and bar, outdoor garden, and temperature controlled grocery storage.
