The Machinery Exchange was originally constructed as a horse stable for the nearby Police Building in 1915, and was converted to a seven-story, 11-unit condominium in 2007. Located at 136 Baxter Street, it is at the crossroads of Soho, Nolita and Chinatown. The building has a virtual doorman, a full-time resident manager, and deeded storage cages.

The Residences at the Ritz Carlton, located at 50 Central Park South, represents an exclusive collection of 11 luxury condominiums occupying the top 12 floors of the 33-story building. Originally opened in 1930 as the St. Moritz Hotel, this Emery Roth-designed building was transformed in 2002 into the current Ritz Carlton property. The residences feature their own private entrance and dedicated staff, while offering residents access to the full suite of Ritz Carlton hotel amenities, including the La Prairie Spa, health club, business center, and in-room dining services.

The building's history is particularly noteworthy, having evolved from its modest beginnings as a "bargain" hotel to one of Manhattan's most prestigious addresses. The conversion by Millennium Partners created some of the city's most impressive residences, including units crafted from the hotel's former ballroom space, featuring soaring 15-foot ceilings and spectacular Central Park views.

The property has attracted notable residents including casino mogul Steve Wynn, who paid $70 million for his apartment, Oracle CEO Larry Ellison, and Sidney Kimmel, founder of Jones New York. Many units feature expansive terraces, beamed ceilings, and panoramic views of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline.

Situated at the corner of Central Park South and Sixth Avenue, the building offers an ideal location near Fifth Avenue shopping, Carnegie Hall, and Columbus Circle. The original architecture includes a rusticated stone base, light-brown sandstone tower, and distinctive setbacks, culminating in a red-tile roof topped by a small globe.

The residences range in size and configuration, with some units spanning entire floors and offering over 10,000 square feet of living space. Many apartments feature custom details such as private libraries, multiple terraces, and elaborate dressing rooms. The building's conversion maintained many of its architectural heritage elements while modernizing the interiors to meet contemporary luxury standards.

Residents benefit from both a private entrance with dedicated staff and access to the hotel's world-class amenities, creating a unique hybrid of private home ownership and five-star hotel services. The building maintains its position as one of Central Park South's most prestigious addresses, offering unparalleled views and service in a historically significant structure.
