The building is development by: Hines, Goldman Sachs Group, Pontiac Land Group. 53W53 was designed by Paris-based Pritzker Prize-winning architect Jean Nouvel. His iconic architectural design will transform the Manhattan skyline. 53W53’s sculptural form, progressive yet reminiscent of classic Manhattan skyscrapers, incorporates an innovative exposed structural system, which Nouvel refers to as the diagrid.

Because of the building’s tapering design and the diagrid, the layout of each condominium residence is unique. 53W53’s interiors were designed by New York-based interior architect Thierry Despont.

The 17,000 square foot full-floor Wellness Center will include: two large vertical gardens, designed by French botanist Patrick Blanc, will frame the 65 foot swimming pool; fitness center, private training area, sauna, steam rooms, golf simulator and squash court, all operated by The Wright Fit; other amenities include a library, theater, children’s playroom, private storage, and temperature controlled wine vaults available for purchase. Floors 46 and 47 feature a double-height lounge with sweeping views and a separate, private formal dining room overlooking Central Park.
