Fifty-Seventh Street has long been synonymous with much-desired luxury throughout New York, a mindset that has extended to real estate as seen on “Billionaires Row.” The latest example can be found at World Wide Group and Rose Associates’ 252 East 57th Street. Closings began this spring, and the building is now 70% sold. Nearly $74 million was signed this summer, with four units over $10 million signed in August alone.
Now that residents have been able to see the apartments firsthand, interest in the units designed by Daniel Romualdez has considerably spiked. The spaces flow naturally into each other, and walls of windows look out on panoramic views. Chef’s kitchens feature Hanstone glass quartz countertops and backsplashes, Kohler collection sink with integrated cutting board and prep bowls, Miele five-burner gas cooktop, and wine fridge. The focal point of the master bath is the 6-foot bathtub set in a granite bench; other features include multiple individually controlled shower heads, radiant heat floors, heated towel bars, and Toto toilets.

For all the luxuries in the apartments, 252 East 57th Street’s amenities have attracted significant attention. Residents arriving by car drive into an interior port-cochere and enter through a walnut-paneled lobby, while their vehicles are transported into a residents-only automatic parking garage with electric car charging stations. Inside, a full-floor social club, also designed by Daniel Romualdez, was designed as an extension of residents’ homes and features a south-facing sky terrace, private dining room with catering kitchen, residents’ lounge, fitness center and dedicated Pilates studio, screening room, billiards room, meeting room, and curated guest suites. The spa area has a 75-foot swimming pool and hydrotherapy circuit that includes a sauna, steam room, and ice room. Other amenities include a children’s playroom, dog play space and grooming station, and dedicated Luxury Attaché concierge service.
Of the 26 remaining active sales, current availability begins at $3.995 million. The highly anticipated penthouse and 59th floor duplex will be released this fall.
