A luxurious penthouse at 111 W 57th Street, known as the world’s skinniest skyscraper, is now available for $110 million. The four-story, 1,428-foot-tall residence, which spans floors 80 to 83 of the tower, offers breathtaking views of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline. The building, also referred to as the Steinway Tower, was completed in 2022 on the site where the historic Steinway & Sons piano company once stood. Designed by SHoP Architects and Studio Sofield, the building is one of the tallest and most slender skyscrapers in the world, with a striking height-to-width ratio of 24:1. Its design evokes the grandeur of New York’s Gilded Age, marked by wealth and skyscraper construction.
The penthouse itself features five bedrooms, six bathrooms, and two terraces. It boasts a unique floor plan that includes an “entertaining suite” on the first floor and a “primary suite” on the third floor. The top floor is home to a “crown suite” that includes a bar and screening room, providing an ideal space for relaxation and entertainment. Inside, the residence showcases opulent materials like marble, limestone, blackened steel, and velvet, with artworks by renowned artists such as Picasso and Matisse adorning the walls.
In addition to the penthouse, the building offers an array of high-end amenities, including an 82-foot swimming pool, private dining rooms, and a landscaped terrace. The tower’s facade is designed to change throughout the day, as the color and texture of the terracotta blocks shift with the light, adding to the building’s dynamic presence on the skyline.
Located on New York’s Billionaire’s Row, Steinway Tower sits among some of the city’s most prestigious real estate. The area is home to several high-rise luxury residences, including the nearby Central Park Tower. While quadplexes are rare, another notable apartment on Billionaire’s Row, a 24,000-square-foot unit at 220 Central Park South, set a record in 2019 when it sold for $238 million, becoming the most expensive home ever sold in the United States. The penthouse at Steinway Tower offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of New York’s most exclusive real estate.
