Downtown Luxury Condos

Designed by Pritzker Prize winning architect Jean Nouvel, 100 Eleventh Avenue stands as one of Chelsea's most distinctive architectural landmarks since its completion in 2010. Nouvel described the 21 story building as a "vision machine," featuring what the project claims to be the most highly engineered and technologically advanced curtain wall ever constructed in New York City. The building's dramatic façade consists of nearly 1,700 different sized panes of colorless glass, each set at a unique angle and torque, creating what Nouvel envisioned as a "dazzling, Mondrian like window pattern" inspired by the stained glass windows of Paris's 13th century Gothic cathedral of Saint Chapelle.

The building contains 72 apartments ranging from studios to four bedrooms, spanning 890 to 4,675 square feet. Most apartments feature south and west views and are distinguished by Nouvel's custom designed elements including white terrazzo floors throughout, custom terrazzo kitchen islands with built in mobile units, and touch sensitive bathroom fixtures designed specifically for Jado. The building's unique seven story street wall creates a semi enclosed atrium with suspended gardens that appear to float in mid air, while some residences feature private indoor and outdoor terraces.

Residents enjoy white glove amenities including 24 hour doorman service, concierge, a 70 foot indoor/outdoor heated swimming pool, fitness center with steam room and sauna, private screening room, and valet parking. The building is strategically located between 19th and 20th Streets, directly across from Frank Gehry's IAC Building and within walking distance of the High Line, Chelsea Piers, Whitney Museum, and over 300 art galleries in the West Chelsea Gallery District.

Notable residents have included Kelsey Grammer, Stevie Nicks, Vincent Gallo, and former NFL quarterback John Elway. The building's development was not without controversy, as Nouvel publicly criticized changes made to his original lobby design in 2010, when developers replaced his elegant polished granite lobby with carpeting and added decorative boulders, leading the architect to declare they had "gone off course." Despite these disputes, 100 Eleventh Avenue remains what critics called an "instant landmark" and continues to be recognized as a major architectural achievement.

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. The club level houses a billiards room, club lounge with bar and dining room, four outdoor terraces, children's playroom, teen lounge, media lounge, wine tasting room, and music practice rooms.

Located at the intersection of the Financial District, Tribeca, and Battery Park City, the building provides convenient access to Westfield World Trade Center, Fulton Center, and Brookfield Place, as well as the waterfront promenade at Battery Park City. The building maintains its historic status while functioning as a modern luxury residence, with Verizon retaining office space on the lower floors.

129 Lafayette Street was originally built as a printing facility in 1911 and converted to a luxury loft condominium in 2004.

It is located at Lafayette Street and Howard Street near Soho, Chinatown, Nolita, the Bowery, and Tribeca. Pets are allowed.

505 Greenwich Street is a 14 story glass curtain wall condominium built in 2004 in Hudson Square, strategically positioned at the nexus of SoHo, Tribeca, and the West Village. Designed by Gary Handel & Associates, the building contains 104 units with a mix of 25 three bedroom, 42 two bedroom, and 37 one bedroom apartments. Notable residents have included author James Frey and celebrity hairstylist Nick Arrojo. The building sits on a particularly interesting block, positioned next to the architecturally striking 497 Greenwich Street with its rippling glass façade.

Apartments feature 10 foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the spaces with natural light. Standard finishes include Sub-Zero refrigerators, Viking ranges, and Bosch dishwashers, along with custom Tanzanian Anigre wood cabinetry, slate countertops, and Italian green glass backsplashes in kitchens.

The full service building offers comprehensive amenities including a 24 hour concierge, live-in superintendent, and a state-of-the-art fitness center equipped with Peloton bikes. Additional amenities include a pet spa, bicycle room, children's playroom, and a tranquil zen meditation garden courtyard. The location provides exceptional convenience, situated just a couple of blocks from Hudson River Park with its tennis courts, bike paths, and waterfront recreation, while being near the New York headquarters of Google and Disney. Multiple subway lines including the 1, A/C/E, N/Q/R/W, and 6 trains provide easy access throughout the city.

The Silk Building stands as one of NoHo's most culturally significant residential landmarks, originally constructed in 1908 as a silk garment factory in the Italian Renaissance palazzo style by Clinton & Russell Architects. The 12 story building was converted to a luxury condominium in the early 1980s, retaining beautiful historic friezes in its lobby that pay homage to its industrial origins. The building gained legendary status when Tower Records occupied its entire ground floor retail space from 1983 until the company's eventual closure, becoming a cultural epicenter during the height of MTV's influence and helping establish this stretch of Broadway as a destination for music lovers worldwide.

The Silk Building has attracted an impressive roster of celebrity residents, most notably in Penthouse 1109, a spectacular quadruplex that was owned successively by Russell Simmons, Keith Richards and Britney Spears. This penthouse featured a 54 foot wide living room, private terraces, and multiple levels spanning floors 10 through 12. Other notable residents have included Cher and fashion designer Charlotte Ronson, cementing the building's reputation as a magnet for entertainment industry figures and cultural tastemakers.

The building's 56 apartments showcase distinctive loft style layouts, with many units configured as duplexes and triplexes featuring soaring 10 to 12 foot ceilings, oversized windows, and wood burning fireplaces. Kitchens typically include premium appliances from Sub-Zero, Wolf, Viking, and Miele, while hardwood floors and open concept designs emphasize the building's industrial heritage. Many units offer both north and south exposures, with some penthouses featuring private terraces and panoramic city views.

SoHo Mews stands as one of downtown Manhattan's most distinguished residential developments, comprising two elegant buildings at 311 West Broadway designed by acclaimed architects Gwathmey Siegel & Associates and completed in 2008. The complex features a 9 story building facing West Broadway and an 8 story building on cobblestoned Wooster Street, separated by a 4,000 square foot private landscaped garden designed by renowned landscape architect Peter Walker. Located in SoHo's Cast Iron Historic District directly across from the SoHo Grand Hotel, the development earned Landmarks Preservation Commission approval as "an elegant interpretation of the SoHo aesthetic" and "a beautiful and supremely appropriate addition to the district."

The 67 residences include 58 lofts, 5 townhouses, and 4 penthouses, attracting notable residents such as Jessica Chastain, Justin Timberlake & Jessica Biel, former Yankees pitcher David Cone, and designer Oscar de la Renta. Apartments consistently feature 10+ foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and premium finishes including custom Valcucine kitchens with striated elm and smoked glass cabinetry, Jet Mist granite countertops, and top tier appliances from Sub-Zero, Miele, and Gaggenau. Mafi Volcano Oak wide plank flooring flows throughout the residences, while bathrooms showcase statuary marble with radiant heated floors, Tea-for-Two cast iron soaking tubs, and Lefroy Brooks fixtures.

The Carl Fischer Building at 62 Cooper Square faces Cooper Square, a green plaza and promenade at the confluence of some of Manhattan’s most exciting neighborhoods - NoHo, the Bowery, East Village, Greenwich Village and Union Square. The property consists of three pre-war buildings - a 12-story loft and two four-story buildings next door. The loft holds a shared roof deck with dramatic skyline views, with a private penthouse with a hot tub taking up the roof of one of the smaller buildings.

The Carl Fisher Building offers a 24-hour doorman/concierge, an on-site superintendent, resident storage, and access to the Life Time Fitness gym in the base of the building. Some of the city’s liveliest dining and nightlife abounds on the surrounding blocks; the campus of Cooper Union, one of the country’s most prestigious art and architecture universities, sits next door and across the square; up the block, the Astor Place station of the 6 train puts both Downtown and Midtown within a ten-minute commute.

The Zinc Building is a 7 story, 21 unit boutique condominium at 475 Greenwich Street, completed in 2008 by Douglaston Development and designed by Greenberg Farrow Architects. Occupying a triangular site directly over the Holland Tunnel, the building is one of the few freestanding new developments in Manhattan. Its modern glass façade features slightly angled windows along a quiet cobblestone street at the intersection of TriBeCa, Hudson Square, and SoHo. The developers agreed with Community Board 1 not to lease any of the building's 8,000 square feet of retail space to nightclubs or bars.

Apartments range from approximately 1,500 to 3,000 square feet and share several signature features: soaring 10 to 11 foot ceilings, expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, and Brazilian wenge wood floors. Open chef's kitchens are outfitted with Sub-Zero and Miele appliances, poured concrete countertops, and Italian white oak cabinetry. Most units include in-unit washer/dryers, central air conditioning, and generous custom closet space.

Located just one block from Hudson River Park and within the P.S. 234 school district, the building offers convenient access to multiple subway lines including the 1/2/3, A/C/E, N/Q/R, and 4/5/6 trains, placing residents at the center of downtown Manhattan's dining, shopping, and cultural offerings.

260 Park Avenue South stands as a distinguished example of adaptive reuse in Manhattan's coveted Flatiron District. Originally constructed in 1917 as an 8-story neo-Classical building, it served as the headquarters for the United Federation of Teachers for 30 years before being sold in 2003 and expertly converted into an 86-unit luxury condominium by Karl Fischer Architects in 2004. The developers added four floors to the original structure and ingeniously combined it with an adjoining 12-story building at 48 West 21st Street, creating a unique residential complex with a carved-out niche and rock garden that provides enhanced light and air to rear apartments.

The building's 86 residences showcase impressive architectural details, with many units featuring soaring ceilings ranging from 10 to 15 feet, and some boasting dramatic double-height spaces up to 22 feet.

Originally constructed in 1912 as the Hawley & Hoops chocolate factory, 285 Lafayette Street underwent a complex conversion in 1999 that transformed it into one of SoHo's most distinctive luxury condominiums. The ambitious renovation, led by developer Allied Partners, required building a fireproof structure over the existing non-fireproof base—a three-year engineering feat that involved hanging steel beams from tubular grillage spanning up to 70 feet. The 10-story building now houses 31 apartments above 30,000 square feet of retail space occupied by the New York Public Library and Ralph Lauren.

The building's loft-style residences showcase authentic industrial details including original cast iron columns, exposed wooden beams, and soaring ceilings that reach up to 26 feet in the eight penthouses. Apartments range from approximately 2,100 to over 4,000 square feet, featuring Brazilian cherry hardwood floors, chef's kitchens with high-end appliances, wine refrigerators, and luxurious bathrooms with six-foot soaking tubs. Many units boast private terraces, and the penthouses include wood-burning fireplaces. The building's design, crafted by architect Costas Kondylis, seamlessly blends prewar architectural elements with modern luxury finishes.

285 Lafayette Street gained considerable cachet through its celebrity residents, most notably David Bowie and his wife Iman, who purchased one of the penthouses. Other notable residents have included Courtney Love, Studio 54 co-founder Ian Schrager, actor Saul Rubinek, tennis player Patrick McEnroe, and members of the Murdoch and Nederlander families. The building's full-service amenities include 24-hour doorman and concierge service, a professionally landscaped rooftop garden, and two entrances—one on Lafayette Street and a more discreet entrance on Mulberry Street for enhanced privacy.
