A Legacy of Architectural Significance Built in 1925, the Ritz Tower was designed by Emery Roth in collaboration with Thomas Hastings. Upon completion, it became New York City’s tallest residential building, marking a notable milestone in the city’s architectural history. The limestone-clad building reflects a blend of classical design and early high-rise innovation and has been cited by architectural historians, including Robert A.M. Stern, as an important example of prewar residential architecture. Today, the Ritz Tower remains a distinguished address near Central Park, Madison Avenue boutiques, Bloomingdale’s, and renowned dining destinations such as The Polo Bar, Caviar Russe, Avra Madison, and Daniel.
