A 17-story residential condominium building, 240 Park Avenue South is located in the Flatiron District, and just north of Union Square. The building was designed by Gwathmey Siegel & Associates to blend with the prewar style of most of Park Avenue South while providing a contemporary take on classic living. In contrast to the glass-walled buildings being erected today, this building features ample space between windows for display of artwork and other decorative touches.

The 52 apartments offer premium kitchen and bathroom appliances, fixtures and surfaces to meld comfort, luxury and functionality into an enviable day-to-day lifestyle. Kitchens have Jet Mist granite countertops, Sub-Zero refrigerators, Kuepperbusch cooktops with grill, built-in wall ovens and Miele dishwashers. Baths include Rositano carved stone sinks, Dornbracht fixtures, cast iron tubs, white marble-tiled walls and Jet Mist granite floors.

Perforated leather walls, glass wall accents and Pompignon limestone floors create a welcoming atmosphere of refinement in the building lobby. Residential amenities include 24-hour doorman and concierge services, an entertainment library suite where a daily Continental breakfast is served, a landscaped terrace for outdoor entertaining and a 1,500-square-foot fitness center.

This is a lively neighborhood and is home to first-class restaurants and a vibrant nightlife. Residents are within walking distance of Union Square, where they can shop at the Farmer's Market on summer weekends, Trader Joe's and Whole Foods and an array of boutiques and retailers.

Most major subway lines run through Union Square so traveling to any part of Manhattan is a quick and direct commute.
