Metropolitan Tower at 146 West 57th Street stands as one of Manhattan's most distinctive residential landmarks, a 78 story black glass skyscraper that cuts a dramatic silhouette against the Midtown skyline. Completed in 1986 and developed by Harry Macklowe, this bold architectural statement was designed by Schuman, Lichtenstein, Claman & Efron with its signature angled "knife edge" form that maximizes Central Park views for residents.

Nearly all apartments feature floor-to-ceiling windows that showcase sweeping views of Central Park, the Hudson River, and the Manhattan skyline.

Many units have been extensively renovated with smart home technology, wine storage, and spa like bathrooms, while the building's higher floors offer some of the most spectacular park and city vistas in Manhattan.
Residents enjoy what the building markets as a "six star" lifestyle through Club Metropolitan, an exclusive residents only restaurant on the 30th floor that provides complimentary breakfast, room service, wine tastings, and private event space with an outdoor terrace. Additional amenities include a 20 by 40 foot swimming pool with city views, a full service fitness center with steam and sauna facilities, 24 hour concierge and doorman service, valet parking, and housekeeping services. The building has attracted notable residents including Mike Ovitz (former head of Creative Artists Agency), supermodel Adriana Lima, and actor George Takei. Located just two blocks from Central Park and steps from Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and Columbus Circle, Metropolitan Tower offers prime access to Manhattan's cultural and shopping districts while maintaining a no pets policy except for service animals.
