The world’s thinnest skyscraper inaugurated

Steinway Tower, also known as 111 West 57th Street, has been favored by the developer as “the world’s thinnest skyscraper” with a ratio of 24 times the height to the width. Besides, with a height of nearly 450 meters, this is also the third tallest building in the Western Hemisphere.

This incredible tower was designed by New York architecture firm SHoP Architects and built by JDS Development, Property Markets Group and Spruce Capital Partners. The tower’s architects say their main goal was to create a bold new definition of the New York skyline.

The façade of the Steinway tower is composed of terracotta blocks – a material that can change color and texture when viewed under different lighting conditions. The tower is now open to the first residents with apartments priced from $7.75 million for a two-bedroom apartment to $66 million for a penthouse.
