New York City Luxury Condos

One Kenmare Square at 210 Lafayette Street stands as a distinctive architectural achievement in the heart of SoHo, completed in 2005 and developed by the notable partnership of renowned hotelier André Balazs (of Chateau Marmont and The Mercer Hotel fame) and Cape Advisors Inc. The 11-story building was designed by acclaimed architect Richard Gluckman, whose impressive portfolio includes the Andy Warhol Museum, Gagosian Gallery, and the Dia Center for the Arts. Originally conceived by Jean Nouvel before Gluckman took over the project, the building represents a pioneering non-rectilinear residential development in Lower Manhattan.

The building's most striking feature is its gracefully curved façade composed of alternating horizontal bands of textured iridescent gray brick and glass that undulates at every floor. This sophisticated design creates a dynamic exterior that appears to change color throughout the day, from silvery sheen to purple-gray to black. The building overlooks Petrosino Square, a small triangular park at the eastern boundary of SoHo, and offers residents a prime location between SoHo and NoLita with convenient access to both neighborhoods' renowned shopping and dining.

The 53 condominium apartments range from 450-square-foot studios to 1,400-square-foot two-bedroom units, all featuring 10-foot ceilings (12-foot in penthouses), solid ash hardwood floors, and 8-foot-tall triple-glazed windows that provide acoustic separation from street noise. Kitchens are consistently outfitted with high-end appliances including Miele cooktops and ovens, Sub-Zero refrigerators, and Bosch dishwashers, complemented by white Carrera marble countertops and custom gray lacquered cabinetry. Bathrooms feature luxurious Blue de Savoie marble and Kohler deep soaking tubs with separate showers, while all units include in-unit Bosch washers and dryers.

As a full-service luxury condominium, One Kenmare Square provides 24-hour doorman and concierge services, dual building entrances on both Lafayette Street and cobblestone Crosby Street, an on-site resident manager, private fitness center, and individual storage units. The building's prime location places residents steps away from iconic downtown establishments like Balthazar, Sant Ambroeus, and Jack's Wife Freda, while offering easy access to major public transportation and the vibrant cultural offerings of SoHo, NoLita, and the Lower East Side.

The Lucida at 151 East 85th Street is a striking 21-story glass condominium that opened in 2009 as the Upper East Side's first LEED-certified residential building. Developed by Extell and designed by Cook + Fox (architects of One Bryant Park), the building features a distinctive faceted glass façade with a checkerboard mix of clear and silver glass panels. The L-shaped structure contains 122 apartments (110 condominiums and 12 rentals) ranging from two to six bedrooms, with ground-floor retail including Barnes & Noble, Sephora, and H&M, plus a convenient subway entrance.

The building's 122 residences showcase consistent luxury finishes including 10-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling triple-paned windows, and chocolate-stained oak floors. Kitchens typically feature high-end appliances from Sub-Zero, Miele, Viking, and Gaggenau, while bathrooms are finished in Calacatta Oro marble with polished nickel fixtures. Many units offer multiple exposures with city views, and the building includes duplex penthouses on the 20th and 21st floors. Apartments range from 1,400 to over 3,600 square feet, with larger units featuring dramatic galleries, multiple terraces, and specialized rooms like libraries and media rooms.

The 1915 masonry tower at 90 Franklin Street in TriBeCa was converted from office space into 25 apartments in 2001.

The Sugar Warehouse at 79 Laight Street was built in 1853 by the Grocers Steam Sugar Refining Company and later sold to the United States Sugar Refining Company. At 10 stories, it was one of the tallest buildings in New York City when constructed. In 2000, the landmarked structure was acquired by Alex Forkosh of Forkosh Construction and converted into a 34 unit condominium by architect Joseph Pell Lombardi, who described it as "one of the more complex" conversions he had undertaken due to the building's varying heights—10 stories in the core but only five or six stories in other sections. The 2002 restoration preserved the building's distinctive red brick façade, black metal window shutters on the lower floors, and the painted white signage displaying the building's name and address.

The building's conversion required installing an entirely new structural system behind the historic façade to accommodate modern split level and duplex layouts. Two interior courtyards were created to bring natural light into the building. The slightly arched windows and charming exterior details, carefully restored to meet Landmarks Preservation Commission requirements, give the building significant street presence along its lengthy façade extending to West Street. The building sits on cobblestone Laight Street at the corner of West Street in prime North TriBeCa.

All 34 residences are configured as two or three bedroom apartments, with most featuring split level or duplex layouts. Units range from approximately 2,000 to 4,000 square feet, with ceiling heights reaching 14 to 16 feet in many apartments. Several penthouses include skylights and private roof deck access. Common features across units include spacious great rooms, open kitchens with high end appliances from brands like Miele, Sub Zero, Viking, and Gaggenau, marble bathrooms, custom millwork and closets, and vented washer/dryers. Many apartments offer Hudson River views through the building's signature arched windows, and select units feature wood burning fireplaces and private keyed elevator access.

The Sugar Warehouse offers full service amenities including a 24 hour doorman, live-in superintendent, fitness center, two common rooftop decks, children's playroom, bicycle storage, conference room, and private storage units for each residence. The building is pet friendly and zoned for PS 234. There is no parking garage on site. The building has undergone major capital improvements including waterproofing, fireproofing, lobby renovation, and playroom updates.

The location directly across from Hudson River Park and Piers 25 and 26 provides immediate access to waterfront recreation. The building sits in one of TriBeCa's most desirable blocks, with close proximity to the dining and shopping of TriBeCa, SoHo, and the West Village. The cobblestone streets and historic warehouse architecture define the neighborhood's character, which transformed from the former Washington Market produce district into one of Manhattan's most sought after residential areas.

The Sugar Warehouse stands as one of only three historic condominium buildings on the entire TriBeCa waterfront and represents one of the neighborhood's most significant conversion projects from the early 2000s. The building's industrial heritage, combined with its landmarked status and full service amenities, has made it a cornerstone property in the area. The conversion preserved an important piece of New York's 19th century commercial architecture while creating distinctive loft style residences that blend prewar character with modern luxury.

Central Park Place at 301 West 57th Street is a distinctive 55-story pale green aluminum-clad tower that stands as one of Manhattan's most recognizable mixed-use skyscrapers. Built in 1988 by the Zeckendorfs and designed by Davis, Brody & Associates, the building features 274 condominium apartments above seven commercial floors. The tower's most striking architectural feature is its signature five-sided bay windows that provide dramatic three-directional views, though the building's experimental pale green exterior color has drawn mixed reactions from architectural critics who noted it as the structure's most questionable design element.

Positioned strategically on the northwest corner of Eighth Avenue, Central Park Place offers spectacular unobstructed views of Central Park, Columbus Circle, and the Manhattan skyline. Despite being surrounded by major developments including the Time Warner Center and the renovated Hearst Building, the tower maintains its coveted park views.

Trump Tower’s unique sawtooth design reduces visual massing while maximizing corner windows, ensuring light-filled interiors and unparalleled views. Its vertical stepping and landscaped setbacks at the base are a nod to Art Deco styling, contributing to the building's  presence on the skyline.

The site of Trump Tower was once home to the Bonwit Teller Building, a limestone-clad retail landmark demolished to make way for this iconic project. Despite controversies surrounding its construction, the tower has remained a defining symbol of luxury and ambition.
