Downtown Luxury Condos

The Caledonia, a 24-story mixed-use development at 450 West 17th Street, opened in 2008 on the former site of the Chelsea Garden Center. Designed by Handel Architects with interiors by Clodagh, this Related Companies project uniquely combines 190 condominium apartments in the main tower with 288 rental units in an adjacent 8-story wing, including 58 permanently affordable units. While residents share an elegant lobby featuring Richard Serra-inspired design elements, cascading water features, and sandstone walls, separate elevator systems serve the condo and rental sections. The building's developers contributed $28 million to the High Line Park and positioned the property directly adjacent to the elevated park with direct access, while sitting across from the landmark Chelsea Market.

Apartments throughout the building showcase consistent high-end finishes, including bamboo plank flooring, floor-to-ceiling windows, and premium appliance packages featuring Sub-Zero refrigerators, Wolf cooktops, Viking ovens, and Miele dishwashers. Bathrooms are appointed with quartzite countertops, vessel sinks, and custom Watermark fixtures inspired by ancient Etruscan metals. The building offers over 180 different floor plans ranging from studios to expansive four-bedroom units, with some featuring private terraces up to 1,700 square feet. Notable units include corner apartments with dramatic city and Hudson River views, particularly on higher floors overlooking Hudson Yards and the Manhattan skyline.

The Caledonia's amenities rival those of luxury hotels, anchored by an on-site Equinox fitness center with kids' club (separate membership required), along with a landscaped sun terrace equipped with BBQ areas and outdoor showers. Additional facilities include a Zen meditation garden designed by HM White, children's playroom, pet spa services by Dog City, bicycle storage, parking garage, and a library lounge with fireplace. The building maintains 24-hour doorman and concierge services, plus business facilities including a conference room and residents' entertainment lounge.

What sets the Caledonia apart is its exceptionally low common charges for a luxury building of this caliber, combined with 421-a tax abatement benefits and its prime location at the intersection of Chelsea, the Meatpacking District, and West Village. The building's direct High Line access and proximity to Chelsea Market, Hudson River Park, and major transportation hubs make it one of downtown Manhattan's most sought-after addresses, representing the first luxury condominium built directly on the High Line corridor.

The Chelsea Enclave, completed in 2010 at 177 Ninth Avenue, is a 7-story residential condop building integrated into the historic General Theological Seminary complex in Chelsea. Developed by the Brodsky Organization and designed by Polshek Partnership Architects, the building replaced the 1960s-era Sherrill Hall with a modern interpretation that respects the seminary's Gothic Revival architecture through matching red-brick façades and thoughtful design elements.

The building contains 53 residences featuring interiors designed by Alan Wanzenberg, ranging from one-bedroom units to expansive penthouses with private terraces. Many apartments offer views of the seminary's private garden known as 'The Close,' and feature high-end finishes including Wolf ranges, Sub-Zero refrigerators, and marble bathrooms with radiant heating.

The building's comprehensive service package includes 24-hour doorman, concierge, live-in superintendent, and valet parking garage. Additional amenities feature a fitness center, children's playroom, bicycle storage, and a landscaped roof deck with grilling stations.

Penthouse units are particularly notable, with some offering duplex configurations and extensive private outdoor spaces. One penthouse features 2,008 square feet of wrap-around terrace, while others include private roof terraces ranging from 570 to 893 square feet. The building's varied floor plans accommodate different lifestyle needs, with many units featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and multiple exposures.

The Chelsea Enclave operates as a condop, combining cooperative ownership structure with condominium rules. Its location provides easy access to the High Line, Chelsea Market, the Meatpacking District, and Chelsea's renowned art gallery district. The building's integration with the seminary complex creates a unique urban sanctuary, offering residents a rare combination of historic context and modern luxury.

In 2011, the Brodsky Organization further expanded its presence in the area through a $47.5 million deal with the seminary, acquiring additional properties including three townhouses and converting 422 West 20th Street into residential units.

The top 12 floors of the 20-story pre-war office building known as 15 Madison Square North have been converted to one-to-four-bedroom luxury condominium apartments overlooking Madison Square Park and the Flatiron Building in one of the city’s hottest residential neighborhoods.

Residents also get a 24-hour doorman and concierge, a landscaped roof deck, a state of the art fitness center, a wine storage and tasting room and a children's playroom.

One Hundred Barclay Tribeca, completed in 1927, stands as one of New York City's first Art Deco skyscrapers. Designed by Ralph Walker, who was dubbed 'Architect of the Century' by the American Institute of Architects, the building originally served as the New York Telephone Company headquarters. The landmark structure features an opulent Jazz Age lobby with remarkable ceiling murals depicting the history of human communication, intricate ornamental details, and distinctive architectural elements including carved limestone, brick piers, and elaborate setbacks.

In 2014, the building's upper 22 floors were acquired by Magnum Realty and CIM Group for $274 million and subsequently converted into luxury residences. The conversion, designed by Ismael Leyva and DXA Studio, created sprawling loft-style homes that begin 170 feet above street level, featuring high ceilings, custom details, and views spanning from the Hudson River to the Midtown skyline.

The building offers over 40,000 square feet of amenities, including a fitness center by The Wright Fit, an 82-foot lap pool with adjacent children's pool, spa facilities, and extensive club level features on the 18th floor.

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.

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 Textile Building at 66 Leonard Street stands as one of TriBeCa's most distinguished residential conversions, originally designed in 1901 by Henry J. Hardenbergh, the renowned architect behind The Dakota and Plaza Hotel. This Beaux Arts landmark was thoughtfully converted from a commercial textile building to 46 luxury condominiums in 1999 by Chessed LLC, with Karl Fischer designing the conversion that added a penthouse floor. The building's façade features six Caduceus symbols and eight large cartouches, while the interior pays homage to its textile heritage with antique American textile displays and elevator doors embossed with weaving machine motifs.

Located in the TriBeCa East Historic District, this full-service boutique building offers an impressive array of amenities including a 24 hour doorman and concierge, a fitness center with steam room, and a residents' lounge with fireplace and full catering kitchen. The landscaped rooftop terrace features grilling areas and a children's play area with spectacular city views, complemented by a garden courtyard, bicycle room, and an on-site 50 car attended parking garage. The building maintains a pet friendly policy and provides private storage and package services with cold storage.

Apartments range from approximately 1,300 square feet to over 2,800 square feet, with some penthouses exceeding 7,000 square feet.

Many apartments feature gas fireplaces, chef's kitchens with high end appliances from Sub-Zero, Thermador, and Miele, spa-like bathrooms with soaking tubs, walk-in closets, and individual climate control systems.

The building has attracted notable residents including celebrity chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, who sold his apartment in 2004 for $3.25 million to Japanese pop star Hiromi Go, and Nobel Prize-winning author Toni Morrison. The prime TriBeCa location places residents steps from upscale dining destinations like The Odeon and Two Hands, Whole Foods, and multiple subway lines, making it one of downtown Manhattan's most coveted addresses.

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.

35XV is a 24-story, 55-unit condominium at 35 West 15th Street, strategically positioned at the intersection of Chelsea, Union Square, Greenwich Village, and the Flatiron District. Completed in 2014 by Alchemy Properties and designed by FXFOWLE Architects, this mixed-use tower features a unique arrangement where Xavier High School occupies the first six floors, with residential units beginning on the eighth floor approximately 100 feet above street level. The building's development involved an ingenious air rights deal with the Jesuit school that won the Real Estate Board of New York's award for "most ingenious deal of the year" in 2010.

Architecturally, 35XV stands out as a striking glass and stone structure that has been compared to a high-tech "grater" for its distinctive angled façades and cantilevered design. The building features reflective silvery glass curtain walls with staggered windows that create a shingle-like pattern, supported by flying buttress-style steel columns. The six-story base is clad in white Mount Airy granite, while the tower's south and north façades are angled to align with the street's sky exposure plane, creating dramatic visual interest and maximizing natural light.
