The Orion

The Orion is a residential tower in Hell's Kitchen with 58 floors rising at 350 West 42nd Street, housing 551 apartments within a glass and steel structure. The building provides residents with fitness facilities, a swimming pool, a children's playroom, a business center, and seven elevators serving the residential levels.

The building was completed in 2006 by Extell Development, marking a new chapter of residential construction in the area. Architectural design came from the Cetra/Ruddy firm, contributing to Manhattan's evolving skyline.

The building sits near Times Square, placing residents within reach of Broadway theaters, world cuisines, and Manhattan's entertainment district. The location becomes a natural hub where locals and visitors constantly move between shows, restaurants, and shops throughout the day.

The location is easily reached by subway, with multiple stations nearby offering quick connections across Manhattan. The area can become crowded during peak hours, especially around the theaters and tourist spots.

From the upper floors, residents enjoy views spanning the Empire State Building and the Hudson River through floor-to-ceiling windows. Each level offers different perspectives of the city, creating varied visual experiences throughout the tower.
