Louie

Louie is a distinctive two-building condominium development situated within Manhattan’s Ladies’ Mile Historic District, an area with strict preservation guidelines that limit new construction. Despite these constraints, the project successfully integrates contemporary luxury with historic context. Developed by Vinbaytel Property Development, Louie consists of Louie XVII at 21 West 17th Street and Louie XVIII at 16 West 18th Street, with architectural work by Vikatos Architect and design approvals led by Morris Adjmi Architects through the city's Landmarks Preservation Commission.

Each building features full-floor residences with direct elevator access and private outdoor space, offering an elevated sense of privacy and exclusivity. Interiors are bright and spacious, with multiple exposures, white oak flooring, ample closet space, and in-unit Bosch washers and dryers. Open kitchens are thoughtfully designed with Virgil stone countertops, custom oak cabinetry, Graff brass fixtures, and Miele appliances. Primary bathrooms feature steam showers or soaking tubs, dimmable backlit mirrors, and high-end finishes throughout.

Louie’s amenities reflect a boutique yet upscale sensibility. Residents enjoy a state-of-the-art fitness center, a spa with sauna and cold plunge pool, and a landscaped rooftop lounge. Entry is through an attended lobby, offering a sense of welcome and security.

Located between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, Louie sits at the convergence of the Flatiron District, Chelsea, and Union Square, placing it in easy reach of top-tier dining, cultural destinations, and outdoor amenities. Food shopping is especially convenient with Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, and the Union Square Greenmarket nearby. Public transportation is easily accessible via the Union Square hub and 14th Street F/M trains.
