340 W 55th St

An 11-story pre-war cooperative constructed in 1924–1925, this Midtown West residential building contains roughly fifty-five units, primarily one-bedroom layouts alongside larger multi-bedroom apartments and flexible convertible plans. The exterior presents classic early 20th-century masonry and modest curb appeal on a tree-lined block near Columbus Circle and Central Park. Interiors commonly feature high ceilings (often near 10–11 feet), oversized windows, hardwood floors, built-in storage, and a mix of updated chef’s kitchens and renovated baths; many units also include private storage rooms and through-wall air conditioning or washer/dryer hookups. Shared facilities reflect an emphasis on resident comfort and outdoor access: a professionally planted roof deck with panoramic city and river views and BBQs, a landscaped courtyard/garden, a social/party room, and a fitness room (noted to include a sauna). Building services comprise a part-time doorman (typically 8:00 AM–midnight), a live-in superintendent, porter and laundry room. Additional conveniences include bike storage and transferable basement storage units. The co-op is pet-friendly with board-approved policies, permits pieds-a-terre and guarantors in many cases, and allows limited subletting after residency requirements. Located on one of Clinton’s most desirable, amenity-rich blocks, the building sits steps from performance venues, supermarkets, cultural institutions, and multiple subway lines.
