Executive Plaza at 150 West 51st Street is a 22 story pre war building originally constructed in 1926 as the Taft Hotel. The property was converted to condominiums in 1986 by Taft Partners Development Group, with Wechsler-Grasso-Menziuso serving as architect. The conversion created 443 residential units alongside the Michelangelo Hotel, which occupies a portion of the complex. The beige brick building features a three story polished granite base and retains its original deep lightwells, characteristic of early 20th century hotel architecture.
The building's location between Times Square, Rockefeller Center, and Columbus Circle provides exceptional access to Midtown Manhattan. Residents are steps from major subway lines (1, N, Q, R, F, B, D, E) and surrounded by world class dining, including Le Bernardin across the street, along with the Theater District and Fifth Avenue shopping. Building amenities include a 24 hour concierge, doorman, fitness center, rooftop deck, laundry room, dry cleaning valet service, and a live-in superintendent. Pets are not permitted.
Apartments feature 9 to 10 foot ceilings, dishwashers, and all units are non-smoking. Layouts range from studios to two bedroom duplexes, with some units offering sunken living rooms, open kitchens with islands, and private terraces. The building permits short term rentals with a 30 day minimum, making it popular among business travelers and investors. Pied-à-terre ownership and sublets are allowed. An on-site rental office, Empire State Properties, has operated in the building for over 25 years, facilitating the furnished rental process for owners.
