Metropolitan Tower

The Metropolitan and Carnegie Hall Towers
The Metropolitan and Carnegie Hall Towers

Metropolitan Tower is a 68-story, 716 ft. (218 m) residential skyscraper (with 235 apartment units) in Manhattan, New York City, standing at West 57th Street.

The tower could be described as an international style tower, but it was described as postmodern because it features setbacks and triangular shapes, dark glass and a sculpted base.

Started in 1984 and finished in 1987, the tower caused some minor discontent because it blocked some Central Park views. Critics' attention would turn after the appearance of its taller neighbors, however: the CitySpire Center in 1987 and the Carnegie Hall Tower in 1991 (the Metropolitan Tower is not even 10 meters from Carnegie Hall Tower separated by the Russian Tea Room).

The tower has a slightly triangular floorplan, whose longer edge points to Central Park.
