Fifth Avenue Tower is a 33-story, 184-unit condominium designed by Emery Roth & Sons and completed in 1986. The building is full-service: 24-hour doorman, concierge, a fitness center on the 33rd floor with panoramic city views, a landscaped rooftop terrace, central laundry, bike room. The building is pet-friendly and well-managed, with a live-in superintendent.
The location is amazing. Bryant Park is literally around the corner, one of the city's most active public spaces year-round: the winter village, summer film screenings, the Reading Room, and regular programming that draws people from across the city. The New York Public Library sits at the park's eastern edge. Grand Central Terminal is a five-minute walk, which means direct access to Metro-North as well as the 4, 5, 6, and 7 trains. The B, D, F, and M trains stop at 42nd Street-Bryant Park, one block away. The N, Q, R, W, and 1, 2, 3 lines are accessible at Times Square, a ten-minute walk west. Penn Station and the Long Island Rail Road are roughly fifteen minutes on foot. For dining and daily living: Urbanspace Vanderbilt, the food hall at Grand Central, Whole Foods on 57th, Eataly on Fifth Avenue at 23rd, and a concentration of Midtown lunch and dinner options within a few blocks in every direction. The Chrysler Building, Rockefeller Center, the Morgan Library, and the main branch of the public library are all walkable. This stretch of Fifth Avenue is as central as Manhattan gets.
