Downtown Luxury Condos

Located at the crossroads of the Meatpacking District, the West Village and West Chelsea, the Porter House at 366 West 15th Street is a former industrial space that was converted into apartments. It is also known as 66 Ninth Avenue.

All 22 residences, which range from one to four bedrooms, feature tall ceilings, 4-inch-wide Jatoba hardwood flooring, in-residence washers and dryers and large windows. Kitchens are equipped with modern appliances and cabinetry and bathrooms have topnotch fixtures.

The Porter House has a full-time doorman, landscaped roof terrace, state-of-the-art fitness center, bike room, and cold storage. However, its most highly coveted feature is its address on the cusp of the West Village, the Meatpacking District, and Chelsea. 

129 Lafayette Street, originally constructed in 1911 as a printing facility, was transformed into a luxury loft condominium in 2004. This limestone-clad building features a grand lobby with 24-hour doorman service, private on-site storage, and a landscaped roof deck spanning 2,000 square feet, offering panoramic views of the city. Located at the intersection of Lafayette and Howard Streets, it is conveniently situated near SoHo, Nolita, Chinatown, and Tribeca, making it a prime location for urban living.

The building comprises 27 luxury condominium apartments, including two penthouses. Residences range from 1,200 to 5,200 square feet, showcasing 12-foot-high ceilings, Marvin wood-frame windows, and white oak floors. Many units are corner apartments with balconies, while the south penthouse boasts a heated in-ground pool on its terrace. Notable layouts include a duplex penthouse with 4,647 square feet of interior space and a two-bedroom unit featuring a 19-foot-long entrance gallery.

Among its residents, Rihanna is a notable celebrity who has called this building home. The apartments are designed for modern living, with features such as open-concept kitchens equipped with high-end appliances, luxurious bathrooms, and ample storage. The building is pet-friendly, enhancing its appeal to a diverse range of residents.

With its blend of historic charm and contemporary amenities, 129 Lafayette Street stands out as a desirable address in one of New York City's most vibrant neighborhoods, offering residents a unique lifestyle at the crossroads of culture, dining, and shopping.

One York Street is located in TriBeCa and opened in 2008.

The project was designed by Mexican starchitect Enrique Norten and features 32 loft units in a modern 13-story glass structure that's flanked by two low-rise wings, creating a single new complex. Residences have windows that are thermally and acoustically insulated to reduce street noise and feature wide plank oak floors, 8-foot wood doors and modern appliances. Master bathrooms have custom-designed vanities and whirlpool tubs.

1 York Street features a Swiss-engineered, automated parking garage: drivers simply pull up to an entrance pad, get out, swipe a card and walk away. The robotic parking valet then takes over, pulling the car into a lift that transports it to one of 40 slots. To retrieve the car, drivers swipe their card again and the car magically reappears. Amenities also include a 24-hour concierge, an outdoor 28-foot heated pool with sundeck and outdoor shower, a private health club and spa and temperature-controlled storage cellars.

One York Street’s northern TriBeCa location is very near to SoHo as well as many restaurants and cafes. It is also close to the Holland Tunnel.

21 Astor Place is a city landmark that was converted into apartments in 2003.

It is 11 stories and features 50 residences, half of which have different layouts. Thirty-nine units, including 10 duplexes, have either one or two bedrooms. There are also eight, three-bedroom simplexes, a three-bedroom duplex and a four-bedroom duplex. The top floor is a vast space of 7,278 square feet with a 3,094-square-foot wraparound terrace.

Apartments have a loft-style feel with large living areas, 13-foot-high ceilings and many windows. Interiors include sliding room dividers, closets made of semi-opaque glass and staircases angled out of walls to appear as if they are floating. In keeping with such an aesthetic, toilets are also set in bathroom walls.

Apartments have relatively low monthly common charges, even with such amenities as a 24-hour doorman and a health club. With Astor Place and Cooper Union nearby, it is also located close to public transportation and shops.

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. Primary suites typically feature large walk-in closets and windowed spa bathrooms with Italian marble and porcelain tile, double vanities, deep soaking Jacuzzi tubs, and glass enclosed rain showers. The duplex penthouses are particularly notable, with wood burning fireplaces, wraparound terraces of approximately 770 square feet, and private rooftop terraces spanning 981 square feet with panoramic city and Hudson River views.

The building offers full service amenities including a 24 hour doorman, porter and superintendent services, a fitness center, bike storage, and refrigerated storage for grocery deliveries. The building is pet friendly and provides private storage for residents. 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.

Metal Shutter Houses at 524 West 19th Street is an 11 story boutique condominium designed by Shigeru Ban, winner of the 2014 Pritzker Architecture Prize, in collaboration with New York architect Dean Maltz. Completed in 2011 and developed by Jeff Spiritos of HEEA Development L.L.C. and Chelsea art dealer Klemens Gasser, the building contains just nine residential units above ground floor gallery space. The project evolved from a planned two story renovation in 2005 after the High Line's refurbishment triggered rezoning in West Chelsea, granting special development rights that allowed for a complete rebuild.

The building's defining feature is its motorized perforated metal shutters that allow residents to transform the façade's appearance. The main façade is divided into three bays, each with three layers: the signature metal shutters, a low glass railing, and large motorized window walls that fold upward to create what one observer called an "architectural ballet." This system enables 20-foot floor-to-ceiling glass walls to retract completely, blurring the boundary between interior and exterior spaces. By concentrating mechanicals in tall white lacquer storage units and embedding sliding door tracks and lighting directly into the slab, Ban eliminated the need for a plenum to maximize ceiling heights.

The building occupies a prime location in West Chelsea's gallery district, flanked by Frank O. Gehry's IAC headquarters and Annabelle Seldorf's terracotta banded 520 West 19th Street, and across from Jean Nouvel's 100 Eleventh Avenue. The site sits steps from the High Line and Hudson River Park, in what has been described as "the epicenter of modern architecture." The neighborhood's low-profile galleries and buildings allow for long city views, including sightlines to the Empire State Building from multiple units.

Apartments feature double-height living rooms with soaring 20-foot ceilings, custom Shigeru Ban designed kitchens with white Corian countertops and white matte lacquer cabinetry, and bathrooms finished in Bianco Dolomiti marble. Units range from duplexes to a triplex penthouse with more than 3,300 square feet of interior space and nearly 2,000 square feet of outdoor terraces. Common features include white oak flooring throughout, key locked elevator access, in-unit washer/dryers, and the building's signature upwardly pivoting glass walls opening to private balconies and terraces. One sixth floor duplex includes a 46-foot-long double-height living room, while the penthouse offers panoramic views from the Hudson River to the Midtown skyline from its private rooftop terrace.

The building provides full time doorman service and maintains Ban's minimalist aesthetic that blends traditional Japanese architecture with International Style modernism. The penthouse, which sold immediately when it hit the market in 2007, saw its deal fall through in 2010 after the buyer had extensively remodeled the space with traditional finishes. Ban and Maltz subsequently restored the original minimalist details, removing paneling and replacing a wood burning fireplace with a colorfully decorated flue rising to the 20-foot ceiling, preserving the architect's vision of what The New York Times called "a fantasy of modern living."

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. Bathrooms showcase Pietra Bedonia marble floors and surrounds with deep Kohler soaking tubs, while mahogany or hardwood floors run throughout. All units include in-unit washers and dryers, wine refrigerators, and individual storage spaces. Select apartments offer garden views overlooking the building's zen courtyard, while higher floor units provide sweeping views of One World Trade and the Hudson River.

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 Chelsea Modern at 447 West 18^th Street is a 12-story condominium building located between 9^th and 10^th Avenues in Chelsea.

The Chelsea Modern opened in 2009 and has 47 units, with condominiums featuring individually designed kitchens equipped with islands, breakfast bars, custom cabinetry and high-end appliances.

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. Apartments are outfitted with luxury finishes including Calacatta marble countertops, top-tier appliances from Sub-Zero, Viking, and Bosch, and spa-like bathrooms with deep soaking tubs and rain showers. Notable units include duplex lofts with mezzanine levels and corner apartments with expansive living spaces up to 37 feet wide. Many residences offer private terraces, custom built-ins, and the building's signature beamed ceilings that reflect its pre-war heritage.

Residents enjoy white-glove service with a 24-hour doorman and concierge, live-in superintendent, and an impressive array of amenities including multiple landscaped roof decks, a state-of-the-art fitness center, bicycle storage, and parking for approximately 100 cars. The building's prime location at the intersection of Park Avenue South and 21st Street places residents at the heart of one of Manhattan's most dynamic neighborhoods, with immediate access to Union Square's Greenmarket, Madison Square Park, and the area's renowned dining scene, while multiple subway lines provide seamless connectivity throughout the city.
