Welcome to The Centrale
138 East 50th Street – Elliman
“New York had all the iridescence of the beginning of the world.” — F. Scott Fitzgerald
It’s what we all seek. Something special and distinct. Effortless, elegant, individual. The life that awaits at The Centrale.
Commanding Architecture
At 71 stories tall, The Centrale takes its place alongside Midtown Manhattan’s most iconic buildings. The design, by Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects, builds upon classic Art Deco architecture with contemporary elements thoughtfully displayed throughout, such as the reflective glass façade articulated with facets of terracotta chevrons.
Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects. Founded in 1977, Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects has earned a reputation for designing buildings that express the core values of its clients. The firm has designed many of the world’s most recognizable buildings, including the World Financial Center in New York, the Petronas Towers in Malaysia, and the International Finance Centre in Hong Kong. Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects’ award-winning portfolio reflects the belief that a firm must not be constrained by a signature style; rather, great design arises from sincere collaboration with a client and a deep respect for a project’s environmental, economic, and social contexts. Pelli Clarke Pelli has been honored with critical acclaim and hundreds of design awards, including the American Institute of Architects’ most prestigious honor for an architectural practice, the Firm Award. In 1995, the American Institute of Architects awarded Cesar Pelli the Gold Medal.
The playful folds and pleats of natural stone along the entrances anchor the tower to the street. Just above, a veil of textured fins and perforated chevron screens shapes the otherwise open base from the ground upward.
Residences
The Tower Residences. Elegance soars to new heights of splendor beginning from the 58th floor. A limited collection of full-floor Tower Residences captures the grandeur of life in the Manhattan skyline. These three- and four-bedroom residences with home offices showcase sweeping 360° skyline, Central Park, and East River views from every room and are accessed via private elevator vestibules for true discretion.
The Duplex Penthouse. Set on The Centrale’s two penultimate floors, the Duplex Penthouse pairs commanding panoramic views with impressively scaled interiors. In addition to private keyed vestibules on the 70th and 71st floors, this magnificent residence features a kitchen with a windowed breakfast room, a library with a gas fireplace, an 800+ square foot primary suite, a grand staircase, and an interior elevator.

Unique and exceptional, the Powder Room is a perfect mix of edge and elegance. Its dramatically veined Marble Cobalt Flash wall is illuminated by cove lighting, creating a striking contrast against the Nero Marquina marble countertop and floor.
