Overview of The Briarcliffe at 171 West 57th Street
The Briarcliff Condominium is an iconic prewar building located directly across from Carnegie Hall and just steps from Central Park, in the heart of Billionaires’ Row. Built in 1922 and converted to a condominium in 1999, the building offers white-glove service, including a full-time doorman and resident manager. Pets are welcome.
Architecturally, The Briarcliff stands out with its striking two-story limestone base, brown-brick façade accented with limestone quoins, and a canopied entrance with elaborate second-floor decorative elements. Its location across from Carnegie Hall and near iconic buildings like the Osborne and Alwyn Court further enhances its architectural prestige.
The building’s spacious apartments feature high ceilings and classic prewar charm. While it lacks a garage, health club, or sundeck, its enviable location and exceptional service make it one of the most sought-after addresses in New York City. The building’s penthouse is particularly notable, once a triplex that housed renowned figures, and featured in Architectural Digest for its grand living room with 19.5-foot vaulted ceilings and expansive terraces.
This prestigious address boasts a prime Midtown location, with world-renowned cultural landmarks such as Lincoln Center, MoMA, and Columbus Circle all within easy reach. Residents enjoy unparalleled access to Fifth Avenue and Madison Avenue shopping, top-tier restaurants, and the city's best theatres.

Carter’s Review
"New York's chaotic patterns of development in Midtown have resulted in very few intersections that are stunning architecturally.
This is one of those rare locations. (Another is two long blocks to the east at Fifth Avenue.)"
