WHY THIS BUILDING MATTERS

252 East 57th Street is a condominium tower distinguished by its curved glass façade. Skidmore, Owings & Merrill designed the building, with residential interiors by Daniel Romualdez. Its form gives apartments different relationships to the surrounding skyline, making orientation and the position of the glazing important to the experience inside.

The original residential palette combines white oak floors, walnut cabinetry and light stone surfaces. Apartments include a range of larger layouts, with balconies in selected homes. Kitchens and bathrooms were designed with an emphasis on clean lines and substantial materials, although resale finishes can vary.
The building's amenity program includes a swimming pool, fitness and studio spaces, lounges and a screening room. Buyers should confirm current facility access and any separate charges. The East 57th Street location offers access to Midtown's shopping and transit while keeping the apartment's particular outlook central to the comparison.
