SELENE at 100 East 53rd Street Building Details
Soaring gracefully at 63 stories and reaching 711 feet, Selene is a slender and elegant residential landmark framing the Midtown skyline just steps from the Seagram Building. Completed in 2019, this refined tower was envisioned by Pritzker Prize-winner Norman Foster (Foster + Partners), co-developed by Vanke, Hines, and RFR Realty, with award-winning interior direction by William T. Georgis. The tower embodies modern luxury through its undulating glass facade, minimalist form, and museum-quality amenities.
Home to just 94 bespoke residences, Selene delivers exclusivity and expansive living. Each residence features high ceilings (up to 11 feet), impressive floor-to-ceiling windows, and panoramic views of Central Park, the East River, and the iconic cityscape beyond. Interiors offer two distinct aesthetic experiences: the Loft Apartments (located in the lower nine-story podium) capture downtown industrial chic with ribbed concrete ceilings, polished floors, and gallery-style lighting-perfect for showcasing art. Above, the Tower Apartments embrace warmth and refinement with wide-plank white oak floors, Carrara marble accents, and custom oak cabinetry. Many units include private elevator access, in-unit washer/dryer, and tailored layouts that balance tranquility and prestige.
From the podium's third and fourth floors, residents access an extraordinary arsenal of wellness and social amenities. These include a 60-foot sunlit lap pool, a full spa with sauna and steam rooms, yoga and ballet studios, as well as a comprehensive fitness center. The library lounge-dubbed the "Atlas Club" and furnished by Georgis-provides serene solace while the rooftop offers sweeping perspectives of the city. Chef-quality dining awaits just below, with the acclaimed Le Jardinier restaurant located seamlessly within the building.
Selene is pet-friendly, supports pied-a-terre ownership, allows subletting with approval, and accommodates co-purchasing and guarantor arrangements. With its architectural subtlety, unmatched services, and cultured design, Selene stands as one of Midtown East's most distinguished residential offerings.
