341-foot, 34-story modernist residential building completed in 1969. Designed by Samuel Paul & Seymour Jarmul, it is L-shaped, clad in light-brown brick, and set back behind a plaza. It was built as rental apartments, but converted to a condominium in 1984. The plaza has several octagonal brick planters and a driveway, with an entrance to the underground parking garage in the easternmost of the building's six bays. The two bays next to the end bays are wider than the others, and the main entrance is in the western of the two center bays, with glass doors below a rounded, blue canvas canopy extending out over the plaza to the sidewalk. The other ground-floor bays are recessed and have walls of glass blocks.

The upper floors have double-windows in the end bays, bands of four windows in the wider bays, and triple-windows in the middle bays. The brick piers project out from the facade between each bay. There are projecting concrete balconies at the two wide bays, beginning at the 4th floor, each with curved metal side railings and concave-curved brick walls at the fronts.

The west facade has a bay of double-windows near the south edge, and two bays of small windows closer to the middle. The south wing of the facade overlooking 57th Street has three bays, with the west one set-back, and the east one fronted by rectangular projecting balconies with glass railings. The south elevation on the east wing has a bay of tripartite windows at the east end, and two two bays of single-windows closer to the middle.

The north section of the east elevation has a single bay of small, square windows, and the south section has two such bays. The building contains 168 condominium units.
