By summer, the top 57^th and 58^th floors will feature The Sky Club, comprising an enclosed indoor pool, outdoor sun-deck, roof deck with BBQ areas,  a fitness center spanning almost 3,000 square feet with separate aerobics/stretching rooms, locker rooms and steam rooms, his and her spas, and two lounges (one glass-enclosed). The lounges will feature panoramic views, catering kitchens, wet bars, billiard tables, and flat screen TV's. In addition, a 500-square-foot children's playroom will feature bold interior design by CetraRuddy, with plans to hold children's programming.

But the amenities aren't the only features drawing families to the building. The location has long been one of the building's selling points. "It's immediately accessible to Central Park, it's a few blocks from Lincoln Center and the Theater District," says Levy. "Also, 57^th Street offers incredible retail. There's much more in that location than in any other part of the city."

The location also allows families to enjoy spectacular views from each of the building's "premier sky residences." Two penthouse floors offer floor-to-ceiling windows.

During the conversion to a condominium building, the original 845 apartments were combined into 580 condominium units, from studios to four-bedroom layouts featuring up to 3400 square feet. New windows were put in to maximize the light, air and views, and architectural design firm CetraRuddy handled all the interior finishes, including solid plank Nordic Ash floors throughout. Gourmet kitchens feature Varenna Italian cabinetry, SubZero refrigerators, Bosch cook tops, Calacatta gold marble counters and backsplashes, while bathrooms offer cloud-white ceramic tile walls, soaking tubs and separate glass-enclosed showers.

Other building features include a pet spa, concierge service by Abigail Michaels, storage and laundry rooms on each floor (some residences have their own washers and dryers), bicycle storage and parking garage.

With its new design and conversion to a condominium building, one thing is clear, as Levy sums up:  "We wanted to appeal to a broad variety of needs, because the building has studios up to 4-bedrooms, and features a great variety of demographics. We needed to have something for everyone."
