Carnegie Plaza at 162 West 56th Street Building Details
The Carnegie Plaza Residences is a classic pre-war condominium building standing 16 stories tall at the southeast corner of 7th Avenue and 56th Street in Midtown Manhattan. Originally constructed in 1925 by the legendary developers Bing & Bing and converted to condominiums in 1987, the 63-unit building features a handsome red and brown brick facade resting on a two-story limestone base. This full-service building offers excellent security and white-glove convenience, anchored by a 24-hour doorman and a dedicated live-in resident superintendent.
The building comprises elegant one- and two-bedroom layouts-including several discreet penthouse units-that preserve historic pre-war proportions. It stands out for its exceptionally flexible condo rules, allowing 80% financing, pieds-a-terre, investors, and pets, alongside an incredibly sublet-friendly policy. On-site building amenities include a pristine central laundry room and dependable residential services that cater to an effortless, low-maintenance urban lifestyle.
Occupying a premier, high-energy Midtown location, the property sits directly across the street from the historic Carnegie Hall and just three short blocks south of Central Park. The immediate neighborhood is a world-class cultural and culinary hub, packed with top-tier restaurants, museums, theaters, and luxury shopping corridors. Residents also enjoy completely unmatched access to public transportation, making city-wide commuting absolutely seamless.
