The Orion is a skyscraper located at 350 West 42nd Street between Eighth and Ninth Avenues in the Hell's Kitchen or Clinton neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. The building rises 604 feet (184 m) above street level, containing 58 floors of residential units.[2] Despite its relatively modest height for a skyscraper, the residential building has dominated the 42nd Street landscape west of Times Square since its topout in September 2005,[2] and the building has views of New York City in every direction.[3]
The building was designed by the architectural firm CetraRuddy, who also designed One Madison Park.[4]
