The Lipstick Building

 

What the Property Management Office says: "53rd At Third [The Lipstick Building] is a 34-story office tower designed by internationally recognized designers, Philip Johnson and John Burgee. The building sets itself apart from its neighbors by the elegance of its elliptical form, its striking Imperial Red granite exterior trimmed with bands of brushed stainless steel and its two-story granite colonnade and double height, glass-enclosed lobby. 53rd At Third successfully combines classical, Art Deco and modern elements in a style that achieves an enduring identity both at street level and on the skyline."

What I say: This is such a cool-looking building -- I love it!!
