NYC's 10 most fashionable addresses as the Malabar Residences kicks off sales

By CityRealty Staff | From Future New York Tuesday, September 16, 2025

Malabar Residences (Brick Visual) | https://www.cityrealty.com/nyc/midtown-east/malabar-residences-126-east-57th-street/179571

Around the time New York Fashion Week began, sales quietly launched at Malabar Residences on East 57th Street and Lexington Avenue. This puts it in the literal shadow of 432 Park Avenue, but its "pixelated" facade by ODA Architecture is not to be overlooked.

Initial pricing averages just under $3,100 per square foot. Studio units, which average 557 square feet, will start at $1.48M. One-bedrooms averaging 733 square feet will start at $1.93M, and two-bedrooms, averaging 1,276 square feet, will be priced from $3.73M. Three-bedroom layouts, which includes four culminating penthouses, will ask between $5.5M and $12.5M.

Malabar Residences' extensive amenity package includes a courtyard, port cochere, fitness center overlooking an indoor pool and hot tub, a sauna and steam room, a sports court with basketball hoop and pickleball capabilities, a fourth-floor lounge with kitchen, poker room, and terrace access, a 13th-floor lounge with terrace access, and a rooftop terrace with grilling and dining areas. Another undeniable perk is its address near Central Park, not to mention New York City's most fashionably elite department stores and designer flagships lining Fifth and Madison Avenues.

Malabar Residences is especially close to 1 East 57th Street, where Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy (LVMH) submitted an application to replace the former Louis Vuitton flagship with a new 25-story tower shortly before New York Fashion Week began (h/t 6sqft). It will be anchored by a 10-story retail concept with an eighth-story cafe, and the upper levels will be occupied by four floors of exhibition space, a spa, showroom suites, restaurants, and a top-floor bar and garden. LVMH seeks a floor-area bonus in exchange for improvements to the Lexington Avenue-59th Street subway line that include an ADA-compliant elevator.

In the meantime, a new Louis Vuitton flagship at 6 East 57th Street opened to great excitement in November 2024; Tiffany & Co. occupied the space while its nearby Fifth Avenue flagship was being renovated. This "temporary landmark" offers a cafe, chocolate shop, and exclusive collection.

Moreover, the old building's demolition is concealed by what The Wall Street Journal calls "the most fashionable scaffolding in the world." Designed to look like a stack of steamer trunks with Louis Vuitton's iconic monogram, it makes a striking statement all year round and is perfectly positioned by the Fifth Avenue snowflake during the holiday season. Saks Fifth Avenue's celebrated light show will return this November after last year's abrupt cancellation, and this quickly emerged as a new seasonal favorite.

The demolition will include Louis Vuitton's former 20-story tower as well as the neighboring Hublot store, which was designed by Peter Marino. Coincidentally, a new Christian Dior flagship (another LVMH brand) designed by Mr. Marino and located on East 57th Street and Madison Avenue opened in September 2025. Mr. Marino described his formula for the project as "a third of Dior, a third of his favorite design period, and a third of me."

Further up Madison Avenue, construction is underway on 1122 Madison Avenue, a new boutique condominium located near Central Park, Museum Mile, and some of Madison Avenue's most rarefied shopping. The design by Studio Sofield offers a reinterpretation of classic prewar architecture with features like Indiana limestone, sculpted reliefs, and custom decorative railings. Sales on the 26 units, which include several floor-through, are expected to launch later this fall.

In the meantime, we look at the most fashionable addresses in New York City. They achieve this distinction between their addresses near Manhattan's most popular shopping and their connections to some of fashion's biggest names, whether as residents, designers, or sometimes both.
