50 West 66th Street is a skyscraper planned for the Upper West Side in Manhattan. It is being developed by Extell Development Company and designed by Snøhetta.[1] The building was originally to be 25 stories, but the plans were later changed.[2] When plans for an enlarged tower were released in late 2017, the tower faced immediate opposition by those living in the neighborhood.[1]

The building is more contextual than other Extell developments.[3]
