New Renderings Released For ODA’s 126 East 57th Street Tower In Midtown East, Manhattan

New renderings have been released for 126 East 57th Street, a 28-story residential tower on Billionaires’ Row in Midtown East, Manhattan. Designed by ODA Architecture and developed by MRR Development under the MRR 1326 LLC, the 346-foot-tall tower will yield 147 condominiums spread across 170,000 square feet with interiors by Gabellini Sheppard, as well as 5,000 square feet of retail space. WSP USA is the engineer, and Plaza Buildings is the general contractor for the property, which is located at the corner of East 57th Street and Lexington Avenue.

Our last construction update from three weeks ago showed excavation beginning on the plot.

“This building brings a human scale, playfulness, and visual interest to this upscale corridor of 57th Street,” said Eran Chen, founder and executive director of ODA. “As New York City slowly transforms Midtown East to a residential destination, we strive to offer a contemporary outlook for the taste makers and young professional buyers who value high design.”

Nearly all of the homes will feature private outdoor terraces, which are scattered across the cubic setbacks of the massing in typical ODA style. Below are two new renderings of the middle levels looking north up Lexington Avenue, offering a better perspective of the living spaces.

Residential amenities are planned to occupy two below-grade levels and include an exercise room, a sports court, an indoor swimming pool, and a sauna and steam room. On the second floor will be a private lounge and kitchen connected to a furnished courtyard with an outdoor children’s playground, a communal greenhouse, and an outdoor cinema amphitheater overlooking the main entrance. The 11th floor will feature a 3,350-square-foot party room with a prep kitchen and a covered terrace with a bar and private cabanas.

The 28th and final floor will house penthouse units with access to private rooftop terraces via individual interior staircases. A separate communal rooftop will also offer seating and a grilling station.

The development is located two blocks south of the 59 Street-Lexington Avenue subway station, serviced by the 4, 5, 6, N, Q, R, and W trains. A completion date for 126 East 57th Street has yet to be announced.

This building is gorgeous.

That crappy Zimbabwean Consulate is getting redeveloped too, and the POS on 54th and Lex.

I wonder if more people would like 432 Park better if it had similar massing.

[colemonkee]

I think if 432 Park did something with it's massing like Mahanakhon Tower in Bangkok, it would be more universally liked. Not loved, but more liked. But I think with such a small footprint, and how wide they made the cubes (only 6 across), those kind of cutaways would have been to high of an engineering challenge.

Still, there's something classic and simple and elegant about 432 Park, which in my opinion would have been so much more elegant if they just clad it in stone vs. concrete.

[JMKeynes]

I think that 432 is a great building. I wouldn’t want multiple versions of it; however, since NYC has many supertalls, it’s a nice addition to the greatest skyline in the world.

This tower should be at least twice as tall.

Stupid zoning, stupid NIMBYs.

It's no big deal.

The NIMBYs are slowly losing.

There will eventually be 100 supertalls in Manhattan- that's when they'll have officially lost.

I am glad to see this right on the street wall lot line and not setback several feet as one of the two renderings suggests.
