This 20-story residential condominium tower at 5 East 44th Street is one of the narrowest 'slivers' in midtown Manhattan, designed by Alan Ritchie of The Office of Philip Johnson. The bright and colorful building features full-floor apartments, high ceilings, and Bulthaup kitchens, and is located steps away from Brooks Brothers and a block from Grand Central Terminal. Currently, 2 apartments are for sale.
Located at 5 East 44th Street between Fifth and Madison Avenues, Number 5 is a distinctive 20 story condominium completed in 2009. Designed by Alan Ritchie of The Office of Philip Johnson and developed by Sam Suzuki of The Vintage Group, the building is one of Midtown's narrowest sliver towers at just 28 feet wide. Its bold façade combines off white metal panels with striking red and yellow accent columns, making it a visually distinctive presence on the block.
The building contains 20 apartments, most of which are full floor residences with direct, key locked elevator access. Typical layouts feature approximately 10 foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and white oak floors that create a loft like feel. Apartments include Bulthaup kitchens with high end appliances by Miele, Sub-Zero, and Fisher Paykel, along with luxurious bathrooms featuring Toto Neorest toilets. Most units have in-unit washer/dryers, and select residences offer private terraces, including one studio with a 675 square foot outdoor space and a two bedroom unit with a 26-foot-long terrace. Some apartments feature Lutron lighting systems with electronic shades and four zone heating and air conditioning.
Building amenities include an attended lobby with full-time weekday coverage and part time weekend doorman service from 9am to 9pm, plus a virtual doorman system and live-in superintendent. The location provides exceptional access to Grand Central Terminal just a block and a half away, along with proximity to the New York Public Library, Bryant Park, and numerous Midtown shops and restaurants including Brooks Brothers on the same block.
The site has notable history as the former location of Canfield's Gambling House, one of the Gilded Age's most prestigious establishments until its closure in an anti-vice campaign in 1901. Today, Number 5 sits two doors from the Art Deco tower at 535 Fifth Avenue and adjacent to J. Press at 11 East 44th Street, positioning residents in the heart of Midtown's commercial and cultural corridor.
