Curvy Condo Tower Begins To Rise on East 57th Street

World Wide Group and Rose Associates' luxury tower at 252 East 57th Street is on the rise after over seven years of starts, stops, and redesigns. A YIMBY tipster recently visited the site to discover that the long-awaited project has finally grown out of its hole in the ground and is going vertical. The Skidmore Owings +Merrill-designed undulating glass tower will stand 65 stories at its zenith—tall, but not skyline-domineering like its more western neighbors—and hold 93 condos and 175 rentals. Sales launched in the building in September; StreetEasy shows that 12 condos are currently on the market, priced between $4.195 million and $13.15 million. The tower is expected to be complete by the end of 2016.

Here's what the tower will look like when it's complete. ↓
