Tower 31, designed by Costas Kondylis and developed by Jack Halpern, is a 41-story residential building located at 5 West 31st Street, near Koreatown in New York City. Erected in 2006, the building features a distinctive façade with three five-story-high 'boxes of 25 windows' framed in white, contrasting with its dark exterior. The building's location offers proximity to landmarks such as the Empire State Building, Herald Square, and Madison Square Garden, as well as convenient access to multiple subway lines.
The apartments in Tower 31 are equipped with modern amenities, including kitchens with Impala black honed granite counters, Vitra mosaic tile backsplashes, and GE stainless steel ranges. Bathrooms feature Statuario marble tile bath surrounds and Calacata Luna vanity tops with Kohler basins. The building offers a range of amenities such as a 24 hour doorman, concierge service, a fitness center, and a landscaped terrace known as the 31 Club, which includes game tables, a media lounge, and a screening room.
Residents can enjoy additional conveniences like a lovely roof garden, a garage, and a courtyard. The building is also close to shopping destinations like the Manhattan Mall and Macy's, as well as cultural spots like the Science, Industry and Business Library. Despite its vibrant surroundings, the area maintains a unique charm with its mix of Korean lounges, Irish bars, and vintage architecture.
This "polished" midtown high-rise earns raves for its "ultra-convenient" location "near multiple subway lines" and its "breathtaking" roof deck offering "unmatchable city views." The "modern" building boasts "well-equipped" amenities including a health club and resident lounge, while the "warm" staff provides "top-notch" service that makes it feel like "home." Though some note "thin walls" in certain units, most praise the "beautiful" common spaces and "impressive" lobby. Situated between Chelsea and Murray Hill, it's "perfectly positioned" for those seeking a "central" Manhattan address with "easy access" to major transportation hubs.
