Overview. Developers JDS DEVELOPMENT GROUP PROPERTY MARKETS GROUP SPRUCE CAPITAL PARTNERS Steinway Hall Original Architect WARREN & WETMORE Tower Architect SHoP ARCHITECTS Interior Design STUDIO SOFIELD 111 West 57th Street addresses Central Park and Manhattan like no other. Positioned between 6th and 7th Avenues, and 57th and 58th Streets, 111 is centered on Central Park, and places the park’s natural beauty into the kind of linear perspective celebrated by the great artists and architects of the Renaissance: balanced, aligned, and deep. That quality of alignment is built into a finely-tuned structure that engineers strength to new heights and elegance. That attunement to a sense of place is established by a landmark building, Steinway Hall— the historic headquarters of the famous makers of pianos, now home to remarkable residences and amenities. From a historical foundation to a contemporary landmark, 111 aligns old and new, art and engineering, nature and culture, into perfect symmetry: a new line along the skyline, along the center of the park at the center of the island at the center of the world.

HISTORY — The history of 111 West 57th Street is a composition of music in two movements, bringing together the best of New York City’s pre-war golden age of architectural design with the best of today’s creativity in design innovation, engineering, and construction. The first movement begins with Steinway Hall by Warren & Wetmore—depicted on opening day by the greatest architectural renderer of all time, Hugh Ferriss, with his characteristic combination of expressing timeless classical details and forward- looking architectural values illuminating the Manhattan skyline. The second movement begins with modern masters SHoP Architects and Studio Sofield, bringing these details and values into the 21st Century through the exterior and interior designed in absolute harmony.

THE LANDMARKED INTERIOR — In 2013, Steinway Hall’s well-preserved interior rotunda was declared a New York City landmark, following the 2001 landmark designation of Steinway Hall as “a timeless monument to classical music and architecture.” 111 West 57th Street sensitively conserves this landmarked interior, and—thanks to acclaimed interior design specialists Studio Sofield—draws on its timeless inspiration for new amenities and lobby spaces. Historic Steinway Hall features carefully considered detailing, from fine plasterwork and woodwork to an innovative steel frame, that was refined to make its grand interiors look—and sound—remarkable. Today, those details, along with massive masonry walls and deep floors often spanning the building’s full width, are being introduced into the tower, creating extraordinary assets for luxurious, tranquil, and flexible environments for gracious living.

Phtography by Peter Murdock COLLABORATION — The history of fine-tuning at Steinway Hall continues today in combining the landmark with a new tower by SHoP Architects: a bold yet slender skyscraper in custom-cast terra cotta, bronze, and glass. The tower lifts history into the iconic Manhattan skyline, and adapts Steinway Hall’s classic pre-war layouts into character-rich residences. Interiors by Studio Sofield combine historical inspiration with forward-thinking convenience and elegance. With all the craftsmanship and rigor of a great musical instrument, 111 West 57th Street powerfully combines old and new, luxury and technology, substance and style. 57th Street entrance.
