100e53 Street in NYC by Foster & Partners

This highly anticipated 61-storey building, comprised of 94 units, is the latest property from RFR to join the iconic «Architects Row» in Manhattan with its prime location at East 53^rdStreet just steps from two of New York’s most prestigious modernist buildings, Mies van der Rohe’s Seagram Building and Gordon Bunshaft and Natalie de Blois’s Lever House.

«We have assembled a first in class team for One Hundred East Fifty Third Street. Each of our partners was carefully selected to create an iconic tower that enriches the lifestyle of those who choose to live there», said Aby Rosen, co-founder of RFR.

The distinctive residences at One Hundred East Fifty Third Street will offer buyers the rare opportunity to live in a one-of-a-kind piece of architectural history. The building’s stunning façade, slender in form, tall in stature, and minimalist in geometric design, is created to complement its distinguished neighbors; the overall effect of the tower is bright and brilliant in contrast to the dark bronze of the Seagram Building.

This inimitable development resides in the cultural core of Midtown Manhattan, steps away from the MoMA, Grand Central Station, Rockefeller Center and timeless city landmarks. The central and sought-after location of One Hundred East Fifty Third Street will grant residents unmatched access to the city’s cultural, entertainment, shopping and dining offerings.

«Urban Compass is thrilled to be representing RFR and the entire development team at One Hundred East Fifty Third Street. Lever House and the Seagram Building are some of the most prominent architectural icons in the city and this is a unique opportunity to continue the legacy of significant architecture in the Midtown Cultural District», said Leonard Steinberg, President of Urban Compass.

The sales gallery will be located within the Seagram Building. The interior design will be by Foster + Partners with collaboration by New York based architect and interior designer, William T. Georgis.
