Tour: 430 East 58th Street - Sutton Tower
Construction has wrapped up at 67-story residential condo tower Sutton Tower on the Upper East Side by Gamma Real Estate and JVP Management. Designed by Thomas Juul-Hansen, the 850-foot-tall tower features a slim rectangular massing with beveled corners.

At the tower’s crown, a pale gold frieze of geometric facets evokes the city’s art deco past.
