Carter’s Review

"This sprightly and bright skyscraper on the former site of the Roseland Ballroom, the dance hall, at 242 West 53rd Street was erected in 2018 by Algin Management and has 426 rental apartments. 

The 62-story tower was designed by CetraRuddy and sits on a low-rise, through-block podium whose multi-level roof is landscaped. "
