50 West 66th Street, Residential skyscraper in Upper West Side, United States.
50 West 66th Street is a residential skyscraper on Manhattan's Upper West Side containing 127 condominium units across 69 floors. The tower rises to 775 feet with expansive glazing and private loggias that frame views of the surrounding cityscape.
Construction took place in phases, with the multi-story base structure completed first before the residential tower was built under Lendlease's supervision. The site sits within an area with a long history of residential development.
The building stands between Lincoln Center and Central Park, incorporating limestone and bronze elements that reflect the architectural heritage of Manhattan.
The building includes over 50,000 square feet of resident amenities such as an indoor pool, basketball and squash courts, and a bowling alley. Note that these facilities are exclusively for residents and not available to the general public.
The tower's profile is defined by carved corners and chamfered edges that create a refined geometric form as it rises from street level. This shaping technique makes the tall structure appear lighter and more refined when viewed from different angles across the neighborhood.
