Property Description for 33 West 56th Street, PH-B

Architecturally significant. luxurious, and outstanding value: Penthouse B on top of the renowned Centurion Condominium is an impressive four-bedroom, four-bathroom penthouse with approximately 3,033 sq. ft. at 33 West 56th Street, just minutes from Fifth Avenue and Central Park. This distinguished duplex residence offers soaring ceilings, multiple exposures to the North, South, and East and has a large, south-facing, private terrace. It is part of I.M. Pei's legacy who was the architect of the building (and many other distinguished buildings around the globe such as the Pyramid of the Louvre, the Bank of China Building, the Four Seasons Hotel New York,).

The sun floods the graciously appointed space through oversized, sound-insulated, floor-to-ceiling windows. Enjoy vivid views over Midtown Manhattan: The Museum of Modern Art and Rockefeller Center during the day, the glittering panorama of thousands of windows at sunset.

The main penthouse level features a spacious living room with gallery walls, a separate dining room, and a kitchen with a separate breakfast room, a perfect layout for entertaining.

The gourmet kitchen is beautifully finished with solid clear glass countertops, glass tile backsplash, and hardwood floors. It comes fully equipped with premium appliances by SubZero, Wolf, Viking, and Bosch, as well as a private washer and dryer.

The enormous master suite on the upper floor enjoys exceptionally high ceilings – close to 14 ft! – and direct access to a south-facing private terrace. The large windowed master bathroom features polished marble floors and soft gray honed marble vanities. The apartment includes a storage room in the basement.

Penthouse B can be acquired fully furnished, for immediate move-in, or be customized by Pei Partnership Architects or your own architect and interior designer.

Penthouse B embodies the creative vision of I.M. Pei and Pei Partnership Architects and is part of I.M. Pei’s legacy. Among Pei’s masterworks are the Pyramid at the Louvre in Paris, The Bank of China Tower in Hong Kong, and the Four Seasons Hotel in New York. 33 West 56th Street is the only luxury condominium building ever designed by Pei.

Immediately upon entering the building, the positive energy of the lobby is noticeable: Natural materials such as limestone and precious woods create a serene atmosphere, and the private waterfall in the lobby helps residents relax before they even enter their apartments.

24 hour concierge, doorman, 24 hour attended garage, an on-site resident manager, the lobby lounge, a brand new private exercise facility by Technogym, and a roof deck complete the service package.

Midtown West | Manhattan

Quick Profile

People, yellow cabs, bright lights, big crowds, 24-hour eateries and just about every type of store imaginable. it’s a frenetic buzz that only a few places on the globe can offer. And that’s just one part of it. Midtown West is the birthplace of hustle and bustle and it’s bordered by 42nd to the south, 59th Street to the north, 8th Avenue to the west, and 5th Avenue to the east. 

Midtown West is not as residential as other neighborhoods in Manhattan. The bustling part of Midtown West is 42nd Street between Times Square and 8th Avenues where the retail and office space, theatres, and attractions are. No matter what time of day it is, you'll always find activity there. 

Residential buildings lay near the western end of Midtown West beginning around 8th Avenue. 

Location, location, location. Of all the neighborhoods and enclaves of Manhattan, Midtown West is perhaps the most commutable place to live, visit, or work. It contains one of the highest concentrations of subway lines in the Big Apple. A, C, E, N, Q, R, 1, 2, 3, and the 7 train. The transit system feeds the streets with commuters from everywhere. The Port Authority Bus Terminal and nearby Penn Station adds to the number of people that flood Midtown on any given day. 

It’s one of the easiest places in all of Manhattan to navigate because it’s a true grid. Uptown, street numbers go up. Downtown, street numbers go down. It’s the same concept from east to west. You really can’t get lost in Midtown West.
