241 Fifth Avenue is a distinctive 20 story, 46 unit boutique condominium that stands out in the NoMad landscape with its architecturally intriguing design by ODA. The building, completed in 2013, underwent an unusual development journey, originally planned as a 76 unit residential project, then redesigned as a 100 unit hotel, before finally becoming the current 46 unit residential condominium. The structure features a unique "Cubist" aesthetic with a symmetrical Fifth Avenue façade and an asymmetrical south wall, employing four distinct materials including a terracotta rainscreen system, opaque baked glass, clear glass, and silver metal panels. Most notably, the top of the building is cantilevered 6 feet forward toward Fifth Avenue, creating a dramatic architectural statement that Landmarks Preservation Commission members described as "intriguing" and "lively."
The residences showcase consistent high end finishes throughout, including stained white oak flooring, floor-to-ceiling windows, and ceilings ranging from 9 to 10 feet high. Kitchens feature reverse painted glass cabinetry, Basaltina stone slab countertops, and Miele appliance suites, while bathrooms are appointed with fixtures from the Zuchetti Kos Faraway Collection, deep soaking tubs, glass enclosed showers, solid teak wall detailing, and honed stone tile floors with radiant heating. All units include in-unit Miele washers and dryers. The building offers diverse layouts from one bedroom units starting at 593 square feet to substantial three bedroom residences, with several units featuring private terraces.
The crown jewel penthouses deserve particular attention: Penthouse 20 spans 3,080 square feet with a 958 square foot terrace, while Penthouse 15 occupies an entire floor with 2,706 square feet of interior space and an 887 square foot terrace featuring an indoor/outdoor fireplace that connects to the living room, plus key locked elevator access. Some lower floor units with southern exposures face an interior courtyard, while higher floor corner units offer spectacular views of landmarks including the Flatiron Building and Empire State Building.
Residents enjoy comprehensive amenities including a 24/7 doorman and concierge, live-in superintendent, rooftop terrace with panoramic city views, and a state-of-the-art fitness center with an adjoining terrace. Additional wellness focused amenities include a zen tranquility room for yoga and meditation, a private wellness treatment room for massage and beauty treatments, plus practical conveniences like bike storage and a pet washing station. The building's prime NoMad location places residents just one block from Madison Square Park and within walking distance of the area's renowned restaurant scene, luxury hotels, and multiple subway lines. The building welcomes pets, allows subletting, and permits pied-à-terres.
