150 East 57th Street is a 34 story, 144 unit rental tower in Midtown East, completed in 1998. Designed by the Office of Michael Schimenti and developed by Bernard Spitzer, it has a boldly patterned façade and a lobby with a granite waterfall and commissioned artwork.
Apartments range from studios to three bedrooms, and residential floors are arranged with no more than five homes. Floor-to-ceiling windows, formal dining alcoves and galleries, open skyline views, and private balconies recur in the layouts. The tower is capped by duplex penthouses with fireplaces and terraces.
The health club contains a fitness center and a 45 foot indoor lap pool beneath a dome skylight. The building also has a 24 hour doorman and concierge, a live-in superintendent, resident storage, common laundry facilities, central air conditioning, and outdoor space. Pets are permitted.
The address sits in Midtown East’s interior design district, with showrooms, restaurants, cinemas, and 57th Street art galleries on the surrounding blocks. Bloomingdale’s is two blocks north, while Central Park is directly west along 57th Street.
This "meticulously maintained" Spitzer-owned property on East 57th Street offers "exceptional finishes" in an "intimate setting" with just "four apartments per floor." The "fairly new construction" features amenities including a "swimming pool," while the "prime Midtown location" comes at a "premium price point." Popular with frequent travelers who appreciate the building's "corporate polish" and "Swiss watch" precision, though units facing 57th Street can be "quite noisy."
