The Orion is a skyscraper located in New York City's Midtown Manhattan area. The building rises 604 feet (184 m) above street level, containing 58 floors of residential units.[2] Despite being only slightly more than 600 feet (183 m) tall, the residential building has dominated the 42nd Street landscape west of Times Square since its topout in September 2005.[2] This means that the tower has views of New York City in every direction.[3]
