This very sleek and stunning apartment tower rises on the former site of El Morocco, the glamorous nightclub that was famous for its celebrity clientele and its blue-and-white zebra-striped banquettes. For several decades, El Morocco and the Stork Club were the most elegant and exclusive nightclubs in the city in the pre-disco era.

This 32-story tower was designed by Peter Claman of SLCE Architects and developed by the World Wide Group of which Victor Elmaleh, who is a very fine artist, is a principal.

Most of the 118 condominium units are two-bedrooms. The top penthouse has three fireplaces. The lobby and atrium club room were designed by Jay Valgora of Studio and the outdoor bamboo garden was designed by Ken Smith.
