Helena 57 West is a 38 story, 597 apartment rental at West 57th Street and 11th Avenue, completed in 2005 with Gold LEED certification. Designed by Fox & Fowle, it was developed by The Durst Organization and Sidney Fetner Associates; 20 percent of its apartments are designated affordable.
Environmental systems are central to the building's design. Wastewater is treated internally and recycled for toilet use, corridor ventilation passes through ultraviolet filtration, and the roof carries solar panels. Individual room controls allow year round heating and cooling, while the garage has plugs for electric and hybrid vehicles.
Many apartments have floor-to-ceiling windows with open city and Hudson River views, and selected homes have balconies. The studio program spans conventional, alcove, and home office layouts, and apartments generally have oak floors and substantial storage.
A three level health club and landscaped roof deck with a barbecue grill lead the amenity program. The building also has a full time doorman and concierge, a children's playroom, lounge, resident storage, garage, laundry on each floor, and a shuttle to Columbus Circle. Pets are allowed, and actor Michael Urie has lived at the Helena.
