Penthouse on Billionaires' Row at 111 West 57th Street, Midtown Manhattan

Set on Billionaires’ Row, 111 West 57th Street is one of Manhattan’s most recognisable residential towers. Designed by SHoP Architects, with interiors by Studio Sofield, the building combines privacy, service and architectural detail in a prime Midtown location close to Central Park, Fifth Avenue, Carnegie Hall, MoMA, Lincoln Center and some of New York’s best restaurants, shops and cultural venues.

Penthouse 82 is a two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom residence with 519 sq m of interior space and a 29 sq m private terrace. Positioned high above the city, the home enjoys exceptional views over Central Park to the north and the Manhattan skyline to the south, with landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty and One World Trade Center visible in the distance.

The residence is accessed by private elevator, opening into an entrance gallery finished in White Macauba stone. From here, the home leads into an impressive Great Room with ceilings over 4 metres high and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame open views across Central Park. The scale of the space, together with the quality of the finishes, gives the apartment a calm and refined character.

The south-facing kitchen has been designed for both everyday use and entertaining. It features Gaggenau appliances, custom cabinetry, Crystallo White Quartzite worktops and backsplash, and a generous breakfast area with views over the Manhattan skyline. Also on this level is a south-facing observatory, ideal as a private sitting room or entertainment space, as well as a powder room finished in Jewel Onyx stone. An internal elevator connects the different levels of the home.

The primary bedroom suite occupies the upper floor and enjoys far-reaching views over Central Park. It includes a large dressing room with a wet bar and coffee station, creating the feel of a private boutique. The en-suite bathroom is finished in veined White Onyx and includes a custom polished nickel freestanding bathtub by William Holland and hand-cast fittings by P.E. Guerin, the historic New York foundry.

The second bedroom is also generously sized and has an en-suite bathroom finished in Crystallo Gold Quartzite, with custom fittings designed by Studio Sofield.

Throughout the residence, the attention to detail is clear. Features include smoke-grey oak flooring, nine-foot custom doors with bronze hardware, floor-to-ceiling windows and a zoned HVAC system for year-round comfort. The private terrace extends the living space outdoors and offers a rare open-air setting high above Manhattan.
