French architect Jean Nouvel has crafted an archetype for future skyscrapers with his innovative 1,050-foot tower at 53 West 53rd Street. Thanks to the purchase of air rights from The Museum of Modern Art, the residences within the unique structure will provide views of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline. The tower’s three lower levels will connect to the museum, a perk exclusive to the development.
Situated alongside The Museum of Modern Art, architect Jean Nouvel’s Midtown tower at 53 West 53rd Street is quickly becoming one of New York’s most iconic buildings. Known by locals as “The MoMA Tower,” the sleek skyscraper’s glass and steel exterior adds stylish contrast to the city’s skyline, while its three lowest floors maintain the neighborhood’s current focal point by serving as additional MoMA gallery space.
Architect Jean Nouvel’s MoMA-adjacent Midtown tower, 53 West 53rd Street, is welcoming future residents nearly a decade after the ambitious project was initially conceived. The building will be replete with amenities unavailable to any other Manhattanites; in addition to living with some of the world’s greatest art, which will occupy the building’s first three floors courtesy of The Museum of Modern Art, residents can enjoy access to a private dining room, wine vaults, and an in-house screening room.
