Overview of Hemisphere House at 60 West 57th Street

Situated in the heart of Billionaire’s Row, this post-war, 20-story rental building offers an enviable location near Central Park, Carnegie Hall, the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA), Lincoln Center, and some of the best dining and shopping destinations in the world. The building stands as a prime example of midtown Manhattan convenience and luxury.

Located at the southeast corner of Sixth Avenue and West 57th Street, this gray-brick structure houses 242 rental apartments. Its striking design features a polished black granite base that extends to the second floor, a canopied entrance framed by curved mosaic walls and white marble, and an elegant rooftop water-tank enclosure. The building's architectural style is further enhanced by its indented façade above the second floor, which adds visual interest and lightens its mass, as well as white window reveals that complement its overall aesthetic.

The property boasts desirable amenities, including a full-time doorman, a garage, discrete air-conditioning units, sidewalk landscaping, and consistent fenestration throughout. At street level, the corner retail space is home to the charming bistro Rue 57, a popular destination in the neighborhood.

This prime location places residents one block from Fifth Avenue’s iconic Tiffany & Co. and Bergdorf Goodman, two blocks south of Central Park, and just a short walk from Rockefeller Center. A supermarket, numerous restaurants, and excellent public transportation options are nearby, offering unparalleled convenience. While the area’s vibrancy does come with heavy traffic, the central location and surrounding amenities make this building a standout choice.

Carter’s Review

"This handsome, post-war, 20-story building at the northeast corner of Washington Square Park has 242 rental apartments.

One block from Fifth Avenue and Tiffany's and Bergdorf Goodman and two blocks south of Central Park and only a few blocks north of Rockefeller Center, this building has a very prime midtown location."
