A Short Story About One57

In 2015, One57 delivered on the developer's promise of becoming, at the time, the most expensive and the most exclusive condo apartment address in New York City. 157 West 57th Street, or One57, began the sequence that resulted in this stretch of 57th Street becoming known as "Billionaires' Row."

Extell, the developer, created a superb selection of exclusive homes where the view from each takes center stage. To the north, residents and guests see Central Park, to the south they get to gaze at the hyperactive life that is Midtown Manhattan, each with huge windows to provide an eagle's eye view of Carnegie Hall, and the Hudson and East Rivers away in the distance.

Extell's name is derived from "Excellence" and "Intelligence," and these two principles drove everything the One57 team did. They achieved something no other condo tower had achieved until then. The project was envisioned by Pritzker Award-winning French architect Atelier Christian de Portzamparc, and its interior design was created by Thomas Juul-Hansen.

To quote Extell's VP of Design, "We set out to create a residential experience unlike anything else in New York City, collaborating with craftsmen of impeccable taste and discernment. Our selective process ensured that every residence at One57 is among the best ever designed."
