Olympic Tower

Olympic Tower is a tall building on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan with 51 floors combining residential and commercial spaces. The structure houses luxury apartments on upper levels alongside office and retail areas below.

Built in 1974 by Aristotle Onassis and Arlen Realty, the tower emerged as a significant mixed-use development on Fifth Avenue. This partnership introduced a new approach to Manhattan real estate, blending residential, retail, and office spaces.

The Great Hall inside creates a welcoming space where people naturally gather, its soaring heights making you feel part of the building's energy. This central area connects the shopping and office functions into one fluid experience.

The building is open and accessible during regular hours with security and staff present throughout the day and night. Note that the two main entrances are located on 51st and 52nd Streets, connected by an interior passage.

A two-story public atrium called Olympic Place connects the building's entrances on 51st and 52nd Streets through interior passages that few visitors discover. This hidden feature allows you to navigate between street levels without stepping outside.
