The Corinthian is a 58-story apartment building that was New York City's largest apartment building when it opened in 1988. It was designed by Der Scutt, design architect, and Michael Schimenti.[1] Its fluted towers with bay windows are unusual compared to the traditional boxy shape of buildings in the city, and it bears a resemblance to Marina City and Lake Point Tower in Chicago. The building incorporates a portion of the former East Side Airlines Terminal designed by John B. Peterkin and opened in 1953.[2][3]
At 1,100,000 square feet (100,000 m2) it is the largest project of Bernard Spitzer.[2] It occupies approximately two thirds of a city block between First Ave. and Tunnel Entrance Street and between East 37th and 38th Streets, and overlooks the Manhattan entrance to the Queens-Midtown Tunnel. It has 863 apartments, 125,000 square feet (11,600 m2) of commercial space on the first through third floors, a 48,000-square-foot (4,500 m2) garage and roof deck.
At the entrance to the building is a cascading, semicircular waterfall fountain and an Aristides Demetrios bronze sculpture, "Peirene." Its lobby is 90 feet (27 m) long and 28 feet (8.5 m) high.
