Carter Horsley's Review of Sheffield 57

"The dark-brown brick Sheffield 57 is a 49-story apartment tower at 322 West 57th Street that was built by Hyman Shapiro in 1978 and designed by Emery Roth & Sons.

The conversion of this humongous, through-block building to condominium apartments got rid of its great, open-air, rooftop paddle tennis court and reduced the number of apartments by about 250, but it’s no longer the proverbial big obnoxious kid on the block in an generally drab neighborhood and now offers a plethora of amenities in a very desirable and lively location."

After being purchased in 2005 by Ken Swig & partners for a record breaking $418 million, it was converted into 580 luxury condos. The Tower stands 58 stories tall with apartments range from 585--square-foot studios to 3,417-square-foot four-bedroom units. Designed by Cetra Ruddy Architects, units boasting high end Nordic Ash floors, white and gold marble kitchens with custom Italian cabinetry Miele, Bosch, and Sub-zero appliances and countertops made from Calacatta marble.

The Sky Club is one of the Sheffield's most sought after amenities and provides residents access to a bi-level common area that offers two lounges, a children's playroom, swimming pool and spa with locker rooms, a yoga studio, fitness center, barbecue grills on the roof terrace and an outdoor sundeck. There is also a Petspa, dog and kid and bike friendly lobby and dog and kid and bike friendly plaza with outdoor seating for relaxing and dining.
