53 West 53 NYC
In the city that never sleeps, 53 West 53 is a sculptural icon of modern luxury living. With a design from Pritzker Prize-winning architect Jean Nouvel, the tower rises 1,050 feet above MoMa and defines the skyline in an entirely new way. The building’s expressive architecture is shaped by an original and artistic response to its context, including the forces of nature and the vitality of the streetscape.

From its expansive glass walls, residents enjoy sweeping city and Central Park views. Inside, the luxurious home offers a master suite with dual bathrooms and a walk-in closet that is the size of many NYC apartments.
A spacious kitchen features a curated collection of modern appliances and marble countertops. The spacious dining area is anchored by a large central island. The home also includes a state-of-the-art screening room and a jewel box library designed by Thierry Despont.
53 West 53’s world-class amenities are a cut above the typical Manhattan offerings.
