Aalto57 occupies the base of a striking 65 story residential tower at Second Avenue and 57th Street that opened in 2016. Developed by World Wide Group and Rose Associates and designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the building's sculptural form was inspired by architect Alvar Aalto and is distinguished by elegant concave windows that subtly change in size as the tower rises. The rental section comprises 21 floors containing 175 apartments, while the top 33 floors are condominiums with a separate address at 252 East 57th Street. Clad in pale blue glass with curved balconies, the LEED silver certified building features filtered water, a smoke free policy, and a Whole Foods on-site.
Amenities include a 24/7 attended lobby and doorman, Luxury Attache concierge service, residential manager, and live-in superintendent. Recreational facilities feature a landscaped outdoor terrace with fire pit and gas grills, a 20 foot high basketball court, rock climbing wall, fitness center with Peloton bikes and TechnoGym equipment, children's playroom, business center with conference room, residents' lounge, and bicycle and general storage. Pets are allowed.
Apartments feature walnut hardwood floors throughout, in-unit Bosch washers and dryers, and gourmet kitchens with appliances by Miele, Bertazzoni, and Blomberg. Most units have open kitchens with islands, some movable for flexibility. The building's signature curved architectural windows appear throughout, particularly dramatic in corner units with oversized glass. Bedrooms typically include walk-in closets, and master bathrooms feature oversized glass showers and double vanities in larger units. Select apartments offer private balconies or terraces, with some terraces extending up to 42 feet in length.
