At almost 800 square feet with a functional layout, an open kitchen and generous living area, 50E allows for easy entertaining or a quiet movie night on the couch.

The kitchen boasts all updated stainless-steel appliances and is anchored by an almost floor to ceiling window that allows you to observe the comings and goings in Times Square from afar. On the way to the bedroom find the in-unit washer/dryer closet and sleek bathroom with generous tub/shower. The bedroom can easily fit a king bed and has room for a work station as well.

On top of that, go to bed and wake up to views of the entire southern end of Manhattan. Built in 2007, The Orion is one of the premier full-service buildings in Midtown. Amenities include, swimming pool, gym, media room, garage, children’s playroom, concierge, package room, laundry room.
