Sales have begun on a spiffy collection of condos at 805 Ninth Avenue in Hell's Kitchen. After four years of construction, the first homes have hit market: a pair of floor-through residences on the 3rd and 4th levels priced at $2,325,000 and $2,275,000 apiece.
The slim, six-story building is located between West 53rd and 54th streets within an easy walk to the Theater District, Alvin Ailey Dance Theatre, Columbus Center, and Central Park. The understated facade, designed by Pinner Architecture, fits neatly into the low-rise Hell's Kitchen streetscape and features strip windows and stone-colored panels. The top floor and rooftop bulkheads step back, yielding ample terraces for the penthouse unit.

Perched above a ground-floor retail space are five floor-through units in two- to three-bedroom configurations. Honed by St James Design, the apartments feature near floor-to-ceiling-windows, herringbone white oak floors, central air, and some form of private outdoor space. Kitchens and baths are fitted with high-end finishes, appliances, and fixtures. Other thoughtful touches include 8' solid core doors, Miele washer and dryer bundles, and accompanying private storage room. Building amenities will include a virtual doorman, private storage and a bike room.
Hell’s Kitchen’s hard-won zoning rules have kept much of its low-rise, pre-war character intact. Only a handful of small infill and conversion developments have been built. They include Bloom on Forty Fifth, Inkwell and Stella. Two ground-up condo buildings similar to 805 Ninth that have recently finished include 318 West 47th Street and 409 West 45th Street. Both of which are now sold out.
