Overview of Le Premier at 112 West 56th Street

Le Premier is a 32 story, 55 unit condominium at 112 West 56th Street, erected in 1980 and converted in 1983. The building stands out for its distinctive polished gray granite and stainless steel marquee entrance, with a tower clad in gray brick and concrete rising above a three-story granite base. With only two apartments per floor and semi-private elevator landings with decorative marble, the building emphasizes privacy and exclusivity. The renovated lobby and hallways complement the building's sleek aesthetic, while many units feature balconies, some of which have been enclosed in glass.

Many apartments boast floor-to-ceiling windows with open city views, wide plank oak or bamboo flooring, custom cabinetry, and abundant closet space. Penthouse units offer particularly dramatic spaces with solarium dining rooms, while one rare full floor combination spans 3,400 square feet with six to seven bedrooms, created by joining two standard units.

The building provides full service amenities including a 24 hour doorman, full-time superintendent, and semi-private laundry facilities on each floor shared between only two units. Lifetime Fitness occupies the first seven stories with its own entrance, offering residents access (for an additional fee) to a 60-foot indoor pool, yoga studio, massage room, and comprehensive wellness facilities. The building is pet friendly and allows up to 90% financing.

The location on West 56th Street places residents in the heart of Midtown, three blocks from Central Park and steps from Carnegie Hall, MoMA, Columbus Circle, and the Time Warner Center. The block itself is notably eclectic, bordered by the rear façades of Metropolitan Tower (developed by Harry Macklowe), Carnegie Hall Tower, the Russian Tea Room, and CitiSpire, along with the Byzantine-style City Center for the Performing Arts. Fifth Avenue shopping, the Theatre District, and excellent public transportation are all immediately accessible.
