Jengo la The Sovereign lilipojengwa mwaka 1974, Paul Goldberger wa gazeti la The New York Times alisema, “The Sovereign iko katika daraja la anasa za hali ya juu.” Jengo hili lililobuniwa na Emory Roth lina ukumbi unaoenea chini ya jengo zima, na kuna njia nne za nusu-faragha kwa kila ghorofa—mbadala unaokaribishwa (na wa gharama kubwa) badala ya korido ndefu yenye milango pande zote mbili. Mpangilio wa aina hii huenda haujawahi kutumika katika jengo lolote la New York tangu miaka ya 1930.”

Zamani na sasa, kukiwa na vyumba viwili pekee kwa kila ghorofa, wakazi hunufaika na huduma bora za kiwango cha kimataifa zinazotolewa na wafanyakazi wanaojumuisha walinzi, wahudumu wa mlangoni, wahudumu wa concierge, usimamizi wa ndani ya jengo, huduma ya kuegesha magari na mengineyo.

The Sovereign ni mojawapo ya majengo ya ushirika maarufu zaidi yaliyojengwa baada ya vita. Ukumbi wake wa kifahari na wa kuvutia wa Mtindo wa Kimataifa una dari ndefu zinazopambwa na mng’ao wa chandeli za Venini za miaka ya 1950 zilizotengenezwa kwa kupulizwa kwa mkono, na kubuniwa na mbunifu wa majengo wa Italia, Carlo Scarpa. Ukumbi huu wa katikati ya karne unaimarishwa na paneli zake za asili za Rosewood, sakafu za marumaru ya travertine na mkusanyiko wa picha za kuchora zilizochaguliwa kwa uangalifu. Furahia ukumbi wa mazoezi ulio kwenye kiwango cha ukumbi, gereji ya valet inayopatikana saa 24 yenye vituo vya kuchajia magari ya Tesla, pamoja na huduma bora za kifahari zinazojumuisha usimamizi wa ndani ya jengo. Kuna chumba cha kuhifadhia baiskeli na sehemu binafsi za kuhifadhia vitu. Bodi inaruhusu wanyama wa kufugwa, hadi mbwa wawili.

When The Sovereign was built in 1974, Paul Goldberger of The New York Times noted, "The Sovereign is in the super luxury category." The Emory Roth designed building has a lobby that "extends under the entire building, and there are four semiprivate halls per floor - a welcome (and expensive) alternative to the long, double loaded corridor. Such an arrangement has probably not been used in any New York building since the nineteen-thirties."
