Overview of Number 5 at 5 East 44th Street

Located at 5 East 44th Street between Fifth and Madison Avenues, Number 5 is a distinctive 20-story condominium tower stands as one of Midtown's narrowest "sliver" buildings, designed by Alan Ritchie of The Office of Philip Johnson. Known for its bold and modern façade, the building combines off-white metal panels with striking red and yellow accent columns, making it a lively addition to the mid-block streetscape.

Developed by Sam Suzuki of The Vintage Group and completed in 2009, the building contains 20 apartments, most of which are full-floor residences. Each apartment is thoughtfully designed, with features like high ceilings, Bulthaup kitchens, and Toto fixtures. Floor-through layouts typically include a spacious living/dining area, an open kitchen, and a private gallery leading to the bedrooms. Select units offer private terraces.

The building’s amenities include an attended lobby, central air-conditioning, and a live-in superintendent. its excellent Midtown location provides easy access to the New York Public Library, major clubs, and Grand Central Terminal just a block away.

Historically, the site was once home to Canfield’s Gambling House, one of the Gilded Age's most prestigious establishments until its closure in an anti-vice campaign in 1901. Today, it’s two doors from the Art Deco tower at 535 Fifth Avenue, adjacent to J. Press at 11 East 44th Street, and in the same block as Brooks Brothers, positioning residents close to Midtown’s best shopping, dining, and transport options.
