Doorman No fee rental located in Midtown West, between Eleventh Avenue & Twelfth Avenue

Overview of VIA 57 WEST at 625 West 57th Street

VIA 57 WEST at 625 West 57th Street is a 41-story rental building with a dramatic design that prompted CityRealty architecture critic Carter Horsley to call it “the most dramatic new building in New York City since Frank Lloyd Wright’s Guggeheim Museum” and rank it among CityRealty’s Top 10 NYC Buildings of the Decade. Architect Bjarke Ingels of the BIG Group designed a structure that soars with a sail-like, metallic surface to a fine point, combining the American skyscraper form with the European courtyard building type. The courtyard, notched sithin the pyramid, offers a tranquil strolling garden.

 

Many of the building’s one- to four-bedroom residences are angled to the west to capture sweeping panoramas of the nearby Hudson River and offer dishwashers and washers/dryers. The pet-friendly, smoke-free building, full-time-doorman building features several lounges, a party room, a chef’s kitchen, a game room with ping pong, billiards, and poker tables, a golf simulator, a screening room, and a fitness center with an indoor swimming pool, exercise studios, and an indoor half-basketball court.

Carter’s Review

"This asymmetrical, pyramid-shaped apartment building at 625 West 57th Street east of the West Side Highway between 57th and 58th Streets is the most dramatic new building in New York City since Frank Lloyd Wright’s inverted cone for the Solomon R Guggeheim Museum on Fifth Avenue between 88th and 89th Streets.

It is known as West 57 and was designed by Bjarke Ingels, a Danish architect whose firm is known as BIG for Bjarke Ingels Group."
