NEW YORK | 10 West 57th Street | 672 FT | 52 FLOORS

It looks like it might be that tall. It also clearly was designed not to block the views of 9 W 57th.

It may be before the footprint was expanded, but gives you an idea of what they're thinking. Looks like at least a couple of versions.

16west57th is a visionary super-tall residential skyscraper in New York City by a confidential client.

I’d love for them to acquire 30 W 57th.

If (emphasis on if) that is what they are planning, that's almost comically bad. Basically a copy and paste of Central Park Tower, which was already tragically boring compared to what they could have done with that potential.

It's likely not.

[ChiND]

In terms of precisely where this is situated, if you zoom in on this image, it’s situated on the west end of the assemblage before Soloviev’s recent acquisition of 24-26 W 57th. You can see the building that houses Bread and Butter on 56th, which Soloviev now owns. That acquisition should enable him to build a thicker tower. In any event, while we don’t know what he’ll build, NY’s new tallest clearly seems to be an option. As someone noted, this tower appears to be over 1,600 feet tall.



Also visible is the despicable condo at 33 W 56th, that the barbarian “developers” razed stunning, old townhouses to build. However, in a feeble attempt to disguise the site, they modified the design of 33 and of the B&B buildings. Along those lines, they added this non-existent tenement.





Here’s the site.

[ChiND]

With 36 CPS in play, it seems that placing the tower on the east side of the site would preserve the views for Soloviev’s new tower and have minimal impact of 9 W 57th’s views. Solow's original plan placed the tower here.

[ChiND]

Considering that Soloviev is making no effort to raze 26 W 57th, I’m starting to think that he’s looking to partner with another developer.

Seriously, they have to STOP with these awful uninspiring residentials that take in amazing architecture such as ESB, Chrysler, MoMa Tower, Steinway Tower but do not reciprocate the courtesy.

It cannot take THAT much off the profit margin to make it at least aesthetically pleasing, or non-boring. The last thing this so-called Billionaires Row is another awful elongated rectangle that just fills space.

56th side. Wonder if 23W 56th on the left is eventually acquired since it's currently sat between two Soloviev properties. Building on the right is the landmarked one.

^ Possible. I wish we knew what plans were for this site. Soloviev must have some idea by now.

I wonder if Soloviev is negotiating with partners. He hasn't even taken any steps to raze 24 W 57th.

[ChiND]

Something odd is happening since 24 W 57th is still standing with no sign of demo forthcoming.

Walking by the site, you realize how large it is...

[ChiND]

I think that Soloviev is looking for a partner. It’s crazy that he’s just sitting on this prime site.

Office it is…..

CEO Michael Hershman says his firm is looking for a company to anchor an office tower on its decades-in-the-making assemblage on 57th Street.

“There’s simply too many companies looking and not enough space,” he told me at the Real Estate Board of New York’s gala last week. “We think our property on 57th Street is the perfect location to build a corporate headquarters, for either a domestic or foreign company.”

He would not, however, discuss who Soloviev Group has talked to so far, but said more than 900,000 square feet of office space could rise on the site.

Interesting.

Capital One is looking for almost exactly that amount.

[Crawford]

At least we won't have that blah residential design. I wonder if this will be mixed-use or a straight office tower.

[ChiND]

I have doubts about everything they say. This site would be appropriate for boutique firms and would not require an anchor. Not to mention, the site doesn't really seem to have the footprint that would permit large floor plates. A developer like Related would build this on spec. Further, Soloviev has not even started to demolish 24 W 57th.

I suspect that Soloviev is looking for partners.

Since Soloviev is obsessed with 9 W 57th’s views, I expect that this will be situated largely on the west end of the site, but he needs to acquire Tina’s on 56th Street.

Since he’s committed to office, I would not be surprised if he sells the little building that separates Sedesco’s and Vornado’s sites, and, thereby, enabling them to combine. Imagine if Vornado/Sedesco bought that crappy AKA hotel on 58th. They have a huge site.

They can probably build office floors here larger than the floors of their flagship office tower across the street. But beyond that, office is what's hot. It's why we see:

- Extell moving to expand it's office tower at 570 Fifth (among other things)

- Related moving to expand 70 Hudson Yards

- Related shifting 625 from residential to office

- Planned residential conversions being shifted back to office

- Even SL Green is negotiating to land a major tenant to Times Square, which was seen as dead for office tenants.


The top of the market is hot right now.

NYC’s Trophy Towers Are Leasing Before They’re Built
Big tenants like Citadel, Deloitte, and Capital One are locking in office space years ahead of delivery as Midtown Manhattan’s trophy towers fill up fast.


January 28, 2026

Big-name tenants are racing to lock in space years in advance as Manhattan’s top-tier office pipeline tightens.

Future towers: Major tenants are locking in space years ahead as demand for prime Midtown offices surges. Citadel, Deloitte, and Simpson Thacher have all signed on to towers still in development, including 350 Park Ave., 70 Hudson Yards, and a newly expanded 570 Park.

Office musical chairs: It’s a game of musical chairs for large tenants like Blue Owl, Capital One, and Two Sigma, all chasing limited space as new towers remain years away. With few options, lease renewals jumped in 2025, up to 44 from 36 the year prior.

AI takes space: AI firms are driving demand, making up 59% of Midtown South leasing last year. With 2 million square feet in active requirements for 2026, brokers say this is a lasting shift fueled by strong funding and in-office priorities.

Exclusive availability: As demand rises, rarely available space is quietly hitting the market. RXR is listing the top of 1211 Sixth Ave. for the first time in 20 years, while the new Rolex Building is offering select floors off-market. Even Chelsea’s IAC Building is leasing 83,000 SF with Hudson River views.

Scarcity hits Midtown: Midtown’s top-tier office market has flipped from oversupply to scarcity. With new developments years away, locking in space now is becoming a key competitive advantage.
