Situated next to the sculpture garden at the Museum of Modern Art at 15 West 53rd Street in Midtown Manhattan, Museum Tower is a 52-story luxury rental high-rise with a prestigious history. Originally constructed as an extension to the MoMA, Museum Tower was a much anticipated addition to the skyline of Midtown Manhattan. This post-war condo tower was completed in the early 1980s, and it fulfilled the expectations of real estate observers in Manhattan; the apartments for rent in Museum Tower were and still are among the most luxurious in Midtown Manhattan.
