Overview
About Museum Tower, 15 West 53rd Street
This tall condominium tower was created in 1985 as part of a major expansion of the Museum of Modern Art.
Architect Cesar Pelli's reconstruction of the museum to accommodate the new high-rise condominium apartment tower to the west also incorporated a major redesign of the museum. . Ten years later, the museum expanded once again, and it acquired the adjacent Dorset Hotel on West 54th Street as well as some additional, low-rise properties.
In 1997, the museum announced it had chosen an expansion plan by Yoshio Taniguchi, a Japanese architect who had been one of ten finalists in a competition. He removed the atrium, giving higher visibility from the world-famous garden, perhaps the most beloved urban space in Manhattan.
The Tower's 55 floors hold 263 apartments, and it is the 10th most viewed condo in New York City. It features the amenities of a concierge, full-time doorman, health club, and basement storage.
