Overview of 540 West 49th Street

540West is a sophisticated luxury condominium completed in 2015 in the heart of Hell's Kitchen, featuring a striking glass and steel façade that spans an entire city block from West 49th to 48th Street. Developed by Fortis Property Group and designed by S9 (an affiliate of Perkins Eastman Architects), this seven story, two tower composition houses 110 condominium apartments connected by an impressive 6,000 square foot landscaped central courtyard with lounging areas, dining spaces, a reflecting pool, and an open air movie viewing area.

The building's amenities are particularly noteworthy, including two landscaped rooftop decks with outdoor kitchens offering panoramic skyline and river views, a 24 hour attended lobby with fireplace lounge, a fully equipped fitness center, bicycle storage, and a pet spa. The unique courtyard design creates a resort like atmosphere in the middle of Manhattan, with the split level lobby transitioning into an open breezeway that connects the North and South towers.

Apartments throughout 540West feature consistent high end finishes, including white oak flooring, floor-to-ceiling windows, and state-of-the-art kitchens with Silverstone quartz countertops, imported Italian cabinetry, Bertazzoni gas ranges and ovens, and Liebherr refrigerators. Bathrooms are spa inspired with deep soaking tubs, rain head shower fixtures, and Italian porcelain tile. The building offers diverse layouts from 507 square foot studios to spacious penthouses like PH1N, which features 1,625 square feet of interior space plus a 1,018 square foot private roof terrace. Notable options include duplex units with double height ceilings and combination opportunities, such as the 406N and 407N units that can be combined to create a 1,664 square foot three bedroom residence.

Located in the vibrant Clinton District, 540West provides easy access to Hell's Kitchen's renowned restaurant scene along Ninth Avenue, Broadway theaters, and multiple subway lines including the C/E at 49th Street and 8th Avenue. The building benefits from a 10 year 421-A tax abatement and maintains full service staffing with a dedicated concierge and resident manager.
