The Sheffield at 322 West 57th Street is a 49-story dark brown brick tower built in 1978 by developer Hyman Shapiro and designed by Emery Roth & Sons. Originally constructed as an 845-unit rental building, it was converted to approximately 600 condominiums in the mid-2000s under Kent Swig's ownership, though the conversion process was notably tumultuous.
The cruciform-shaped tower features a distinctive through-block design between 56th and 57th Streets, with a double-height lobby finished in Italian travertine and granite. The building's base was later reclad with granite and glass during its conversion. Residences range from studios to four-bedrooms, featuring Nordic Ash floors and modern finishes.
The Sheffield's crowning amenity is its Sky Club, occupying the 57th and 58th floors, which includes a glass-enclosed swimming pool that opens to an outdoor sundeck, two resident lounges, a state-of-the-art fitness center, spa facilities, and a children's playroom. Additional amenities include a 345-car garage, private driveway, laundry facilities on each floor, and a pet spa.
The building's history reflects the transformation of its West Midtown neighborhood. What was once considered a relatively underdeveloped area has evolved into a vibrant district, anchored by nearby Columbus Circle, the Time Warner Center, and Hearst Tower. The Sheffield stands as one of the area's pioneering residential towers.
Notably, the building underwent several ownership changes, including a period of foreclosure before being acquired by Fortress Investment Group in 2009. The subsequent renovation by Cetra-Ruddy included updates to the lobby and amenity spaces, helping to reestablish the building's position in the luxury market.
The Sheffield's location offers proximity to Central Park, Lincoln Center, and the Theater District, with excellent access to public transportation. The building maintains a 24-hour doorman and concierge service, and its through-block plaza provides a connection to the landscaped gardens of the neighboring Parc Vendome complex.
