250 East 57th Street, Glass residential skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan, United States.
250 East 57th Street is a residential skyscraper with curved glass facades extending 218 meters (715 feet) above the Manhattan skyline. The structure contains 65 floors holding rental apartments, condominiums, two schools, and retail spaces including a grocery store and covered parking.
Completed in 2016 by the architectural firm Skidmore Owings Merrill, this development became part of Manhattan's residential growth along 57th Street. The project contributed to a wave of modern high-rise residential construction in Midtown during that decade.
The building design incorporates elements from the 1936 Aalto Vase, expressing a connection between architectural innovation and decorative arts through its glass surface treatments.
Walk around the neighborhood to view the glass structure from different angles and appreciate its curved design details. The location sits near public transportation stops and other Midtown attractions for easy access and exploration.
The tower's curved bay windows frame views toward Central Park, the Queensboro Bridge, and the East River from multiple floor levels. This window design creates an intentional connection between residents and the major landmarks visible across the city.
