Plumbing plans filed by Extell for 953-foot-tall, mixed-use tower at 155 West 57th Street
JUN 11
Extell Development's plumbing plans for a 953-foot-high, mixed-use tower at 155 East 57th Street were assigned today to an Department of Buildings examiner.
The 73-story tower would have 150 condominium apartments and a hotel. It would contain a total of 1,626,940 square feet of which 676,688 square feet would be residential.
According to plans filed by Costas Kondylis & Associates, the architectural firm, in March, the building would have accessory parking for 64 cars and the hotel would occupy the lower 20 floors.
The 21st floor would house a residential dining room, library and lounge and floors 22 through 30 would have 6 apartments per floor, floors 31 through 45 would have 4 apartments per floor, the 46th floor would be mechanical equipment, floors 47 through 58 would have two apartments per floor, floors 59 and 60 would constitute one duplex apartment, floors 61 through 70 would have one apartment per floor, and floors 71 and 72 would constitute one duplex apartment.
Excavation of the site has been proceeding recently. The site is across 57th Street from the Russian Tea Room restaurant and the Metropolitan Tower. The new tower, on which Frank Williams, the architect, has also worked, would be taller than the area's three tallest skyscrapers: Carnegie Hill Tower and the Metropolitan Tower on 57th Street, and CitiSpire on 56th Street. The new tower would block some views of Central Park from the Metropolitan Tower, which has an angled facade.
Extell owns another development site nearby to the west, the former Hard Rock restaurant location on 57th Street.
In a December 2, 2008 article in The New York Post, Steve Cuozzo wrote that the site extends through the block to 58th Street and is adjacent to two landmarks, the former CAMI Hall at 163-5 West 57thStreet and Alwyn Court on West 58th Street.
