Constructed in 1925, this prestigious limestone-clad pre-war cooperative was crafted by the esteemed Emery Roth and Thomas Hastings. At the time of its completion, the 41-story Ritz Tower was the tallest residential building in New York City, uniquely exempt from height restrictions due to its innovative design without individual kitchens. The Ritz is celebrated as a monumental achievement in American architecture, with Roth and Hastings infusing classical elegance into a structure of unprecedented scale and grandeur. Described by historians like Robert A. M. Stern, Gregory Gilmartin, and Thomas Mellins as the pinnacle of urban living, the Ritz Tower stands at the northeast corner of 57th Street, offering unparalleled five-star services. These include daily maid service, a full-time doorman, concierge, valet service, a newly renovated fitness center, a conference/party room, and an on-site resident manager.

Located mere steps from Central Park, high-end Madison Avenue boutiques, Bloomingdales, and top New York dining destinations like The Polo Bar, Avra Madison Estiatorio, and Daniel, the Ritz Tower epitomizes luxury Manhattan living.
