The Landon is a 34 story, 374 apartment rental tower at 520 West 43rd Street in Midtown West. Completed in 1998 as New Gotham, it was later renamed The Helux before taking its current name. Developed by the Gotham Organization and designed by Schuman Lichtenstein Claman & Efron, the pale orange brick, mid-block slab has two low setbacks above a two story limestone base.
Pass through kitchens and ample closet space recur in studio and one bedroom layouts, while windowed kitchens are used in both one and two bedroom plans. High floor apartments have broad Hudson River and city views, with northern and southern exposures represented, and some layouts have private terraces or balconies. Recent renovations have added in-unit laundry to multiple residences, alongside the building's central laundry room.
The building has a full time doorman and concierge, a fitness center with a basketball court, and a rooftop terrace with indoor and outdoor lounge areas. A resident lounge, children's playroom, bike room, personal storage, and attended garage with valet parking round out the facilities. Pets are permitted.
Hudson River Park is less than two blocks west. The Javits Center and Hudson Yards are to the south, while the Theater District and Port Authority Bus Terminal are east toward Eighth Avenue.
This "solid no-nonsense building" earns praise for its "well-appointed apartments" and "smart layouts," complemented by an "excellent" staff of "top-notch" doormen and maintenance team. The "beautifully up-to-date" property offers "top-notch amenities" including a "well-maintained" gym with basketball court ($25/month). While recent construction has caused some disruption, residents appreciate the "serene home in a busy city" and its "great location." Some grumble about "temperamental elevators" during rush hour, but most agree it's a "very pleasant place to live" with a "spotless" interior and "efficient" service team.
