USA / New Jersey / West New York / New York City, New York / West 25th Street, 55
 skyscraper, apartment building

368-foot, 36-story postmodern residential building completed in 2007 for Rose Associates. Designed by Costas Kondylis & Partners, it has 5-story wings at its south and north sides and the tower is setback on three sides. The building is clad in grey pre-cast stone with metal spandrels and blue-grey glass.

The west facade facing the avenue, above the ground floor and between the 5-story wings, has a central, slightly-recessed area that runs straight up to the roof line. There are five bays on either side, with the stone piers and spandrels stopping short of the outermost bay, which is slightly stepped-back from both the west, as well as the north and south, facades. The south facade is three bays wide between the corner bays, while the north facade spans two wider bays between the corner bays. The east elevation mirrors the design of the west facade. The north and south end elevations and the corner bays set back above the 30th floor. There is a 1-story extension at the rear (the east side), housing the main entrance and lobby on 25th Street, and additional retail space and underground parking garage entrance on 26th Street. The building contains 407 apartment units. The ground floor is occupied by Fairway Market grocery store.
