Architecture aficionados, lovers of luxury, and celebrity-spotters alike have their eyes on RFR's One Hundred East 53rd Street. It is next door to the Seagram Building and was designed by the highly acclaimed Foster + Partners with special regard for its landmarked neighbor. A curtained wall provides a counterpoint to the Seagram Building’s bronze hues, and faceted east and west façades add further distinction.

A wellness center in the building will feature steam rooms, saunas, and spa facilities; its corridor is also occupied by an east-facing library lounge and 60-foot swimming pool.
