About 111 West 57th Street
Steinway Tower, the building at 111 West 57th Street, is a residential skyscraper of supertall height in Midtown Manhattan. It stands near Sixth Avenue, on 57th Street's north side, as one of the developments known together as Billionaires' Row. SHoP Architects designed the main part, an 84-story tower that is 435 m (1,428 ft) tall. At its foot stands the preserved 16-story Steinway Building, also named Steinway Hall, which Warren and Wetmore designed as a store for Steinway & Sons and which was completed in 1925.
At about 1:24, the ratio of width to height makes the tower the slimmest skyscraper in the world, and because it is so slender its top stories sway several feet in high winds. Its north side rises straight to the pinnacle, while the south side has several setbacks that thin the tower on higher floors. The facade is glass with terracotta piers, in a neo-Art Deco style, and the shape of the pinnacle earned the building the nickname "stairway to heaven".
The Steinway & Sons store was proposed in 1916, but lawsuits and other delays kept it from being completed for nine more years. A plan for a residential tower on the site first appeared in 2005, and the developer JDS assembled the lots in 2012 and 2013. The tower rose as an addition to Steinway Hall, and Steinway Hall itself was restored during the project. Construction began in 2014, and the tower topped out in April 2019. In all, the building has 59 luxury condominiums, split between Steinway Hall (14) and the tower itself (45).
