As the iconic Plaza District tower nears 100% occupancy, a massive new wellness and dining oasis is officially open to tenants.
Midtown Manhattan — Just weeks after securing a monumental $1.8 billion refinancing package for its crown jewel asset, the Soloviev Group has officially unveiled the highly anticipated, state-of-the-art amenity space at 9 West 57th Street.
The grand opening marks a major milestone in the modernization of the iconic 1.5 million-square-foot tower, which is currently experiencing an unprecedented leasing surge and nearing full occupancy.
Next-Level Amenity Living: The 50th Floor Oasis
The newly debuted 20,000-square-foot luxury amenity floor brings world-class hospitality directly into the workplace, offering panoramic, unobstructed views of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline.
Designed to meet the demands of top-tier global executives, the private floor features:
-
The 9W Athletic Club: A premier fitness and personal training center equipped with elite, state-of-the-art equipment and dedicated wellness areas.
-
The Vault Spa: A boutique wellness retreat offering specialized recovery treatments, steam rooms, and private relaxation lounges.
-
Executive Dining & Hospitality: A tenant-exclusive, high-end culinary destination featuring curated dining menus, private meeting salons, and cocktail reception spaces.
Capitalizing on Market Momentum
The completion of the amenity floor perfectly complements the building’s recent financial restructuring. With its long-term debt stabilized by the recent $1.8 billion facility from Bank of America, the Soloviev Group has effectively utilized capital improvements to solidify 9 West 57th Street’s position at the apex of the ultra-luxury office market.
The strategy is paying off seamlessly. Over the last few months, the tower has experienced a record-setting leasing streak, capturing multiple historic deals in the $300+ per-square-foot range and thinning remaining vacancy down to just two remaining spaces on the upper floors.
A Vision Realized
For Chairman Stefan Soloviev, the dual success of stabilizing the asset financially and delivering a world-class environment represents the culmination of a multi-year effort to modernize the historic 1974 skyscraper built by his father, Sheldon Solow.
By blending the building’s legendary architectural exclusivity with next-generation corporate wellness and hospitality, 9 West 57th Street continues to set the gold standard for trophy assets along the 57th Street corridor.
