Developed by Skyline Developers and designed inside and out by Morris Adjmi Architects, 18W55 is Midtown Manhattan’s newest ultra-luxury rental building, located just off Fifth Avenue in the heart of New York City. Among its most coveted residences, Penthouse B is a sprawling three-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence that spans a full floor of the 25-story tower, currently asking $33,000 per month.
With triple exposures, the residence boasts sweeping Midtown skyline views, cinematic glimpses of Central Park’s treetops, and direct sightlines over Fifth Avenue and the iconic MoMA Sculpture Garden. Defined by generous proportions and a rare sense of privacy, the home offers a living experience seldom found in Midtown, with expansive interiors that create a calm, elevated vantage point above the city’s bustling energy.
Thoughtfully designed for both refined entertaining and everyday living, the interiors unfold through a grand open-concept living and dining space filled with natural light from oversized windows. The custom kitchen features a sculptural floating island, Italian cabinetry, and Cambria quartz countertops, complemented by a fully integrated Gaggenau appliance suite, including a gas cooktop, a rare offering in new development rentals. Throughout the home, five-inch wide-plank white oak flooring, custom millwork, and a warm, modern material palette create a cohesive and elevated aesthetic. The primary suite serves as a private retreat, complete with a spa-like, four-fixture windowed bath finished in Italian marble, satin nickel fixtures, and custom oak vanities. Fully built-out closets with generous, tailored storage, a rarity in rental residences, further enhance the home’s livability. Additional highlights include direct elevator entry, a gracious entry foyer, and an in-home washer and dryer.
Penthouse B at 18W55 is one of 97 residences, ranging from studios to a limited collection of full-floor penthouses. The building is almost 100% leased within roughly six months, a reflection of strong demand for high-end rental living in Midtown. Residents enjoy more than 10,000 square feet of thoughtfully curated amenities, including a two-story fitness center, golf and entertainment suite, screening and performance space, business center, an elegant resident lounge with daily breakfast, and more. The entire lifestyle program is curated and managed by LIVunLtd, the hospitality-driven firm known for activating luxury residential buildings through tailored wellness programming, concierge services, and resident experiences.
Ideally situated on West 55th Street just off Fifth Avenue, 18W55 represents the first major new rental development in the corridor in more than two decades, positioning it at the center of Midtown’s continued evolution. Moments from Central Park and surrounded by the city’s premier cultural, dining, and retail destinations, 18W55 offers a refined, full-service lifestyle that seamlessly blends privacy, design, and convenience in the heart of New York City.
