Overview of 252 East 57th Street

252 East 57th Street is a 65-story, 715-foot luxury residential tower designed by Skidmore Owings & Merrill with interiors by Daniel Romualdez. Completed in 2017, the building features a distinctive curved glass façade with scooped-out sections that widen as they rise, complemented by blue-green glass balconies. The tower contains 268 total residences, with 175 rental units in the base and 95 condominiums starting from the 36th floor.

The building's dramatic entrance includes a glass bridge over moving water leading to a marble-clad lobby with a green wall, while a gated porte-cochere provides discrete access on 56th Street. Residences feature Eggersmann kitchens with HanStone glass quartz finishes, Miele appliances, and walnut cabinetry, with many units offering curved glass walls and private balconies.

An extensive amenity collection on the 34th floor includes a 75-foot swimming pool, spa with hydrotherapy circuit, fitness center with Peloton equipment, yoga and Pilates rooms, residents' lounge, library, screening room, and private dining facilities. Additional amenities include automated parking, furnished guest suites, a children's playroom, and pet facilities.

Developed by World Wide Group and Rose Associates, the project incorporates two schools and a Whole Foods market in its base. The building's location offers proximity to Sutton Place, Bloomingdale's, and the Roosevelt Island Tram, establishing itself as a significant addition to Manhattan's Billionaires' Row.
