About ARO
Rising over 60 stories above the urban vibrancy of Midtown West, the interior of your residence reflects the vistas embraced by the fluid curves of the building’s award-winning design. CetraRuddy’s sculptural cantilevered architecture has reimagined... the classic skyscraper for our era and beyond.
Inside of ARO’s white metal lattice shell and glass form are more than 40,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities to enhance residents’ lifestyles and make time spent at home well curated and convenient. ARO provides residents with resources as close to hand as possible to reinvent luxury apartment living. Avail yourself of the full concierge services as well as 24/7 doormen and attended parking; relax, host or work in one of the building’s three distinct lounges, get a move on in the indoor pool, game room, children’s playroom, simulated golf course, basketball court and fitness center with yoga room, and entertain guests in the epicurean chef’s kitchen with private dining room and landscaped terraces.
Midtown West is a bustling testimonial to the storied allure of Manhattan living. ARO’s sweeping vistas are rivaled only by its extraordinary location in the city’s center and close proximity to celebrated restaurants, shopping, museums, cultural institutions, entertainment and nightlife. If you need nature underfoot, try a quick trip on one of the multiple subway lines near your doorstep to iconic Central Park or the creatively transformed Hudson River Park corridor.
The building has been honored with the 2015 SARA National Design Award and the 2015 Architecture Podium, International Architecture Award.
