The Centrale

Midtown, New York

138 E 50th St, New York, NY 10022, USA

No single architectural style defines New York, but art deco has given the city some of its most iconic structures—like the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building. It’s no surprise, then, that renowned architecture firm Pelli Clarke Pelli was inspired by these landmarks when designing Midtown East’s The Centrale. The residential tower pairs a matchstick-thin, mostly glass facade with art-deco flourishes for an overall look that evokes classic New York, but with a distinctly 21st-century vibe. Residents have access to every convenience, including private valet parking. Interiors by design firm Champalimaud also manage to feel at once timeless and modern, from the open-living residences to the spacious and airy, high-ceilinged public rooms that are only available to residents.

About The Centrale

Pelli Clarke Pelli’s works are some of the most recognized in the world, including the World Financial Center in New York and the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur. What makes The Centrale such a splendid piece of 21st-century architecture is the combination of iconic art-deco style with contemporary elements. The building’s of-this-century glass facade is dotted with terra-cotta chevrons, and top-to-bottom crystalline switchbacks help to instill a rhythm of angled reflections.

Midtown East is home to historic landmarks like Grand Central Terminal and the Chrysler Building and the epicenter of New York City’s 21st-century super-tall building boom. It’s also home to Fifth Avenue, New York’s main drag for high-end shopping, art galleries, and a spate of Michelin-starred restaurants. Radio City Music Hall, the Museum of Modern Art, and Central Park are nearby.

New York-based design firm Champalimaud brought their signature high-end elegance to the 124 residences, which range in size from one bedroom to four bedrooms. In each, open-living layouts create an airy ambiance with sightlines to the city’s dazzling skyline via the floor-to-ceiling glass windows. A favorite touch? Heated bathroom floors clad in Bianco Dolomiti marble. 

A unique perk at The Centrale is the ample amount of residence-only public space the building affords. There’s the Great Room, with its soaring 36-foot-high ceilings and installation by artist Pascale Girardin; the lofty Club Room, with its pale color tone, double-high ceilings, and a fireplace, conveying an expansive but intimate ambiance; and the all-season Club Terrace, giving residents multiple options for organizing gatherings or just using the spaces as an extension of their living quarters. Even before they enter the building, residents also have access to valet private parking.

Artist Tony Sjoman’s New Mural at The Centrale Evokes New York’s Cityscape

Tony Sjöman’s favorite New York City building may be the Chrysler Building, but that doesn’t mean he dislikes the glassy contemporary structures of the 21st century. In fact, it’s the opposite. The dichotomy between old and new New York inspired Sjöman’s most recent mural at The Centrale.
