Carter’s Review

"Olympic Tower was the city’s first major mixed-use tower in midtown when it was built in 1976 at 641 Fifth Avenue on the northeast corner at 51st Street.

The 52-story building was the first building erected under the city's Special Fifth Avenue Zoning District regulations that were enacted in 1971."

Broker & Buyer Comments

Add Your Own Comment

This "prime Fifth Avenue address" offers "spectacular Central Park and city views" in a building that's keeping pace with modern demands through its "newly renovated lobby" and "refreshed laundry facilities." Located steps from St. Patrick's Cathedral, the building maintains "high standards" with a "thorough board process" and specific upgrade requirements. Residents enjoy a "full complement of amenities" including an exercise room and package room, though prospective buyers should note the mandatory HVAC upgrade requirement.
