The Continental NYC, Luxury residential skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan, US.
The Continental NYC is a modern residential tower at Sixth Avenue and 32nd Street that rises 53 stories high. The structure houses 338 rental apartments, each with large windows stretching from floor to ceiling.
The building was completed in 2011 under architect Costas Kondylis and marked a turning point in Manhattan's residential construction boom. Its construction was part of a wave of modern apartment towers that reshaped the skyline during the early 2010s.
The building shapes the streetscape with its modern glass facade and shows how contemporary living looks in Manhattan today. It stands at a busy intersection and becomes part of daily street life for thousands of commuters passing through.
Several subway lines are within walking distance, with Herald Square Station providing connections to six different train services. Shops and restaurants sit at street level, making it easy to access everyday needs nearby.
The building's windows use specialized coatings that regulate indoor temperature while keeping views of the city unblocked and clear. This design choice shows how modern towers balance comfort with the desire for natural light and distant views.
