Located between the Upper West Side and Midtown West and just steps from the Hudson River and cultural institutions like Lincoln Center and chic dining and shopping at Columbus Circle, this neighborhood enclave is bursting with sights, bites, and sophisticated new residential developments, making it one of New York City’s most exciting destinations for contemporary architecture.

Take, for instance, 611 West 56th Street: the elegant and understated tower on the corner of 56th Street and 11th Ave. Designed by Portuguese master architect Álvaro Siza, a Pritzker Prize winner with a cult-like status amongst architects and architecture fans, this tower brings something truly exceptional to the neighborhood – and North America. With the construction of 611 West 56th Street, Siza brings his refined vision of “Poetic Modernism” to the United States for the very first time.

Inside this 450-foot, 37-story building are 80 condominium apartments with exquisitely crafted interiors by renowned interior architectural firm Gabellini Sheppard Associates, the award-winning interior design studio behind 152 Elizabeth and Rockefeller Center’s iconic Rainbow Room. Exceptional custom finishes and elegant interiors seamlessly connect to the building’s modern, yet timeless Perla Bianca Turkish Limestone, an iconic addition to the New York City skyline.

One- to four-bedroom residences, penthouses and duplex maisonettes feature stunning views of the city skyline and Hudson River. Elevated details such as keyed elevator entry for most residences and extensive custom millwork and lighting (rare for a building of its size), and access to a full suite of amenities, make 611 West 56th Street one the finest homes in New York’s burgeoning West Side.

Residences at 611 West 56th Street start at $1.26 million, and sales launch late September 2019. Compass Development is the exclusive sales and marketing firm for the building, which is being co-developed by Sumaida + Khurana and LENY. For more information or to schedule a preview, please visit www.611w56st.com or call 212-586-1156.
