Overview of The Strand at 500 West 43rd Street

The Strand is a distinctive 42 story condominium tower at 500 West 43rd Street that stands out architecturally in Hell's Kitchen. Designed by Costas Kondylis of Philip Birnbaum Associates and developed by Bhatia Development Associates, the 311-unit building opened in 1989 with a unique 45-degree angled orientation to Manhattan's street grid. This innovative design creates exceptional sightlines and views for residents, with the building's red brick façade featuring bands of peach, red, and beige brick, distinctive corner indentations, and a pyramid-like crown.

Apartments at The Strand typically feature hardwood or parquet flooring, marble bathrooms, and stainless steel appliances, with many units offering private balconies and renovated kitchens. The building's angled design ensures that most residences feel like corner units, providing residents with river and city views that extend from the Hudson River to downtown Manhattan. Units range from studios to two bedroom layouts, with many featuring open living areas and generous closet space.

The building offers comprehensive amenities including a 24 hour doorman and concierge service, a glass enclosed rooftop swimming pool, fitness center with sauna and steam rooms, and a sundeck with panoramic city views. Additional conveniences include laundry facilities on every other floor, bike storage, a parking garage, and storage units available for rent. The building is pet friendly and includes heat, gas, water, and cable in common charges.

Located in the heart of Hell's Kitchen, The Strand provides easy access to the Theater District, Hudson Yards, and Restaurant Row on 46th Street. The building is well connected to public transportation with proximity to Penn Station, Port Authority, and multiple subway lines including the A, C, E, N, Q, R, W, 1, 2, 3, and 7 trains.
