207 E 57Th St

Place 57 is a 36-story boutique condominium tower in Midtown Manhattan completed in 2005. Designed by Ismael Leyva, the glass-clad building contains 37 residences, primarily two- and three-bedroom layouts, with only two homes per floor and occasional full-floor and semi-private elevator configurations. Interiors typically feature floor-to-ceiling windows, high ceilings (often 9–10 ft), wide-plank wood floors, oversized kitchens with Viking appliances and stone counters, generous storage including private lockers, in-unit washer/dryers, and Waterworks or similarly high-end bath fittings. Private foyers, long gallery entries and formal dining areas appear in larger plans; some homes include automated systems for climate, shades and audio. Building offerings emphasize full-service convenience: a 24-hour doorman/concierge, live-in super, fitness center, residents’ lounge/meeting room, children’s playroom, bicycle room, and private storage. Exterior amenity spaces include a landscaped courtyard/garden and a rooftop terrace. The property allows pets and sits on a retail-rich block directly across from Whole Foods, a short walk to Central Park, Fifth Avenue shopping, and multiple subway lines and crosstown options. A white-glove staff and designer appointments in common areas (notably Baccarat crystal in the lobby and curated interior finishes) shape a refined Midtown residence with both privacy-minded floor plans and amenity depth.
