About 135 East 57th Street
135 East 57th Street, also called Tower 57, is a Midtown Manhattan skyscraper that Kohn Pedersen Fox designed and that was built in 1987. On the northwest corner where 57th Street meets Lexington Avenue, it rises 430 feet (130 m) with about 32 stories. The style is postmodern with Art Moderne influences. Gray granite covers most of the facade, and the shaft bends around a plaza on the street corner.
The curved corner holds the office entrance and wraps around a plaza, in which stands an open-air tempietto formed by columns 30 feet (9.1 m) high. The plaza, 5,000 square feet (460 m2) in area, holds plants, marble decorations and a fountain, and it won the developers a zoning bonus that raised the floor space by 25%. Inside, floor area totals about 456,000 square feet. The building has a neoclassical lobby, offices above, and two retail basements that originally held Place des Antiquaires, a marketplace for antique and art dealers.
Madison Equities was the developer, and it was also behind the Galleria next door to the west. The site was leased from the Wallace family in 1972, but construction on the tower began only in 1985, amid legal disputes. It was substantially complete by 1987, and most office space was occupied by 1990. In 1997 the Cohen Brothers group bought the leasehold; it then renovated the plaza and lobby.
