Overview of 53 West 53rd Street

53 West 53, designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Jean Nouvel, stands as a distinctive 82-story supertall condominium rising 1,050 feet above Manhattan. The building's striking architecture features a unique exoskeleton façade and tapered form culminating in a pointed crown, making it an iconic addition to the New York skyline.

The residences, crafted by acclaimed interior architect Thierry Despont, showcase custom-designed elements throughout. Kitchens feature Molteni cabinetry with statuary marble countertops and high-end appliances from Miele and Sub-Zero. Primary bathrooms are appointed with Noir St. Laurent marble, Verona limestone, and Persian golden travertine.

The building offers over 30,000 square feet of amenities, including a 65-foot lap pool, a double-height lounge with private dining room overlooking Central Park, squash court, golf simulator, and private screening room. Services include 24-hour doorman, concierge, and porter staff.

Situated directly above the Museum of Modern Art in Midtown Manhattan, the building provides residents with Perpetual Benefactor MoMA memberships. The location offers proximity to Central Park, Rockefeller Center, Carnegie Hall, and Fifth Avenue's flagship stores.

Residents have exclusive access to the on-site 53 Restaurant, adding to the building's premium offerings. The development is currently over 50% sold and open for immediate occupancy, with adjusted pricing from the initial 2015 offering plan.

The building joins other notable new developments in the area including Central Park Tower, 111 West 57th Street, ONE11 Residences, Mandarin Oriental Residences Fifth Avenue, and 520 Fifth Avenue.

Carter’s Review

"This very impressive, tall, tapering tower at 53 West 53rd Street is perhaps the best of the "Supertall" skyscrapers that began sprouting in Manhattan in the first dozen or so years of this millennium.  It was designed by Jean Nouvel, the French architect who won the Pritzker Prize in 2008, for Hines Interests of Houston. 

A mixed-use building, it contains expansion space for the Museum of Modern Art, a hotel and apartments in its mid-block location at the west end of the museum's properties. "

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "bold" Jean Nouvel-designed tower stands out among Midtown's vertical landscape with its "futuristic" architectural statement that "sparks real estate envy." The building's distinctive design makes it a "standout" among its newer neighbors, offering a glimpse into "New York City's future."
