Green living meets high-end living at Helena 57 West, and the intersection is completely harmonious. Built in 2005 by the Durst Organization and Sidney Fetner Associates, this 38-story building at 601 West 57th Street is LEED Gold certified and hosts 597 thoughtfully designed residences. The building has several new studio to two-bedroom listings with special offers including $1,000 reduced security deposits and up to 1 month free with a new lease. Availability includes studios from $2,903/month, one bedroom from $3,535/month and two bedrooms from $6,365/month.

The building's green features include expansive glass window walls to maximize natural light, reduced energy usage via wind and solar panels, and a full recycling program with composting. Inside, the rentals have custom kitchens designed with minimal maintenance materials with Zodiaq counters and Maytag Energy Star appliances. The building's designers selected hardwood oak floors and baseboard molding from certified sustainably harvested forests, and selected low-emitting paints, adhesives, sealants, and carpeting to reduce indoor air pollution. The bathrooms feature hotel-sized mirrors, oversized custom apothecary cabinets and imported tile floors.
Building amenities include a grand lobby with 24-hour door service and concierge, daily continental breakfast and a valet with maid services, dry cleaning and shoe repair. The pet-friendly building has a lovely roof deck and lawn, and also Club Helena, a three-level fitness center complete with a cardio theater, a Pilates & Spin room, a children’s playroom and a clubhouse with a fireplace.
When Helena 57 West debuted it was the premier rental building in the area but the neighborhood's collection of luxury buildings has expanded with VIA 57 West and Frank 57 West (also by Durst), and TF Cornerstone's just-launched 606 West 57th Street. Helena 57 West is at the nexus of Midtown West and the Upper West Side, walkable to both Central Park and Hudson River Park. Nearby cultural attractions include the American Museum of Natural History, the Museum of Arts & Design, the American Folk Art Museum and New York Historical Society.
