A New Tower Rises Above Billionaires’ Row
After years of delays and lawsuits, a condo on the site of the old Steinway Hall is ready to start sales.

The 60-unit tower, which overlooks Central Park near Avenue of the Americas, has certainly tried to stand out in a crowd. At 1,428 feet (or 86 stories), 111 West 57th will be one of New York’s tallest buildings when it’s completed in 2019. By contrast, the office tower One World Trade Center, the city’s loftiest spire, is 1,776 feet, while 432 Park Avenue, a new condo tower nearby, measures 1,396 feet, and One57, at 157 West 57th Street, is 1,004 feet.
Taller residences, however, are under construction, including Central Park Tower, a condo at 217 West 57th, which is to be 1,550 feet.
Height aside, 111 West 57th has tried to set itself apart stylistically. Rejecting the crystalline look so popular with new developments in the neighborhood, the condo offers an exterior detailed with terra cotta and bronze, in a nod to more traditional materials. Inside the tower, which rises adjacent to the prewar building that housed Steinway Hall for 90 years, and whose gradually tapered body recalls a clothespin, are 46 of the condo’s 60 units; most take up a full floor, while seven units are duplexes. The most common layout has three bedrooms and three and a half baths.
The remaining 14 units, including some studios, are inside the old Steinway facility. The Steinway showroom and store, where Rachmaninoff once practiced, closed and moved south to West 43rd and Avenue of the Americas (the former home of the International Center for Photography) in 2014. Designed in the 1920s by the firm Warren and Wetmore, of Grand Central Terminal fame, the limestone building has landmark status, both inside and out.
“The juxtaposition of the old and new is really what this building is all about,” said Mr. Stern during a recent tour of the condo, whose exterior is by SHoP Architects and whose interiors are by Studio Sofield. From the 61st floor, blankets in Central Park’s Sheep Meadow resembled bits of confetti.
Though “Steinway Tower” was for years a name associated with the project, the developers ultimately jettisoned it for trademark reasons, Mr. Stern said.
Studios, which are reserved for buyers of larger units, start at $1.6 million, while the priciest apartment is a duplex penthouse with more than 7,000 square feet, for $57 million; average asking prices are $6,500 a square foot, developers said.
