Architecture aficionados, lovers of luxury, and celebrity-spotters alike have their eyes on RFR's One Hundred East 53rd Street. It is next door to the Seagram Building and was designed by the highly acclaimed Foster + Partners with special regard for its landmarked neighbor. A curtained wall provides a counterpoint to the Seagram Building’s bronze hues, and faceted east and west façades add further distinction.

One Hundred East 53rd Street has already attracted power couples George and Amal Clooney, and Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber (Mr. Clooney’s business partner). For those also interested, 10 units are on the market. A 1,034-square-foot alcove studio is listed at $2.25 million. One-bedrooms start at $2.635 million; two-bedrooms start at $4.5 million; a three-bedroom is listed at $13.25 million. A penthouse on floors 60-61 is also listed for $65 million.
Apartments of all sizes will feature high, ribbed concrete ceilings, diamond-polished high-grade concrete flooring, custom millwork, floor-to-ceiling double-pane windows with custom full-height curtains, and in-unit Miele washer/dryers.

A wellness center in the building will feature steam rooms, saunas, and spa facilities; its corridor is also occupied by an east-facing library lounge and 60-foot swimming pool.
