Completed in 2006, 325 Fifth Avenue is a striking 42 story condominium tower located between 32nd and 33rd Streets, directly across from the Empire State Building. Developed by Continental Properties and Douglaston Development with architect Stephen B. Jacobs, the building houses approximately 250 apartments and is distinguished by its sculptural curved roof structure and cheerful "baby blue" façades. The tower features an abundance of balconies and a large mid-block plaza, making it one of the most prominent new buildings in the area despite encroaching somewhat on the Empire State Building's historic isolation.
Residents enjoy an impressive 10,000 square foot amenity level called the "Fifth Avenue Club," which includes an indoor swimming pool and jacuzzi, state-of-the-art fitness center with yoga and aerobics facilities, sauna, massage rooms, private screening room, and a residents' lounge with fireplace and pool table. Additional amenities include a 7,000 square foot landscaped outdoor terrace, business center, children's playroom, on-site parking garage, and 24/7 doorman and concierge services. The building also offers storage facilities and a bike room.
Apartments feature floor-to-ceiling windows with 10 to 11 foot ceilings, creating loft-like spaces with abundant natural light. Units come equipped with high end appliances including Sub-Zero refrigerators and Bosch appliances, in-unit washer/dryers, and hardwood floors throughout. The building offers a wide variety of layouts from one to three bedrooms, with many units featuring private balconies and some boasting exceptionally large terraces. Corner units provide multiple exposures and panoramic city views, including vistas of the Empire State Building and Chrysler Building.
The location places residents in the heart of what's become known as "SoFi" (South Fifth Avenue), an emerging neighborhood between the Flatiron District and Murray Hill. The building offers exceptional connectivity with proximity to Penn Station, Bryant Park, Madison Square Park, and nearly every major subway line, while being surrounded by world-class dining, shopping, and cultural attractions that define Manhattan living.
