Rendering of 252 East 57th Street - New York, NY

New York, NY 252 East 57^th St., which serves as a gateway to 57^th St.’s  residential corridor, has officially “topped out,” marking a major achievement for the development. Developed by World Wide Group and Rose Associates, the 65-story condominium tower reached its highest point of over 700 ft., solidifying its place on 57^th St. 

“Striking a harmonious balance between its elegant façade and tailored interiors, 252 East 57^th St. will be a sculpture in the sky,” said Jim Stanton, president of World Wide Group, the developer of the building in partnership with Rose Associates. “This feat could not have been accomplished without all of our partners, but especially our design and construction team of SOM, Daniel Romualdez, SLCE and Lend Lease.”

Drawing inspiration from Aalto Vase, Roger Duffy, partner at SOM and executive architect for 252 East 57^th St., designed a curved glass façade. 

“Lend Lease is pleased to have topped out the 252 East 57^th St. project,” said Anthony Mannion, principal-in-charge, Lend Lease LMB, Inc. “I would like to acknowledge the combined efforts of World Wide Group, Rose Associates, SOM, SLCE Architects, DeSimone, Flack + Kurtz and our Lend Lease project team in reaching this important milestone in this project that has reshaped the skyline of Midtown Manhattan.”

In an effort to connect the building’s sculptural exterior, the developers commissioned AD100 designer Daniel Romualdez, who travels amongst an elite group of tastemakers and business leaders, to create exquisitely sophisticated interiors. Romualdez invested an extraordinary amount of thought into each of the ninety-three condominiums. The flow of each home was carefully considered integrating classic style with modern influences.  The two-to- five bedroom residences with soaring ceilings, windows up to 10 feet high, and layouts that are reminiscent of classic white glove New York City buildings, are truly grand and luxurious.

The residential lifestyle is also enhanced with an exclusive curated collection of amenities, designed by Romualdez. From the arrival through a gated porte-cochére to the 34th floor resident’s club with a southern facing 70 foot terrace to the 75’ pool and spa, 252 East 57th Street will offer exclusive amenities that define a life immersed in luxury.
