Midtown Luxury Condos

With reports of billionaires jockeying to pay record-setting prices for its trophy penthouse apartments, One57 from Extell Development is the very model of Billionaires' Row living. The 90-story building houses both a hotel and private residences.

Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Christian de Portzamparc, the tower rises more than 1,000 feet above 57^th Street just south of Central Park. The top portion of the building, which has a private entrance on 58^th Street, contains 92 condominium apartments that feature interiors designed by Thomas Juul-Hansen. In the tower's lower floors is the Park Hyatt’s new U.S. flagship.

The building offers such luxury amenities as 24-hour doorman and concierge service, an indoor pool, a private fitness center, a performance room, a private dining room, a library and lounge area, a full-catering kitchen and on-site parking. Residents will also have full access to the hotel’s amenities including room, catering, and housekeeping services.

One Beacon Court at 151 East 58th Street is located at the nexus of Midtown and the Upper East Side.

Its 105 condominiums are located on the 30th to 55th floors and are equipped with white, double-stacked cabinetry, modern, premium appliances and washers and dryers.

One Beacon Court amenities are run by London-based Quintessentially and include a 24-hour doorman, concierge service, a garage, and valet parking. What’s more, residents have access to the Beacon Club, which is located on the 29th floor and includes a ch barre exercise room and treatment room, a resident lounge and business center, a children's playroom, and catering kitchen space. The lower floors of the tower contain offices for Bloomberg L.P.

Also known as the iconic Bloomberg Tower and adorned at its crown with three floors of wraparound lantern lighting, the building was developed by Vornado Realty Trust and houses at its base both Bloomberg L.P. as well as Hutong, the New York City outpost of the Hong Kong and London-acclaimed northern Chinese, high-end restaurant.

151 East 58th Street occupies an entire city block and is bounded by Lexington and Third Avenues, and 58th and 59th Streets. Residents have easy access to public transportation, Bloomingdale's, and other popular shopping and restaurants.

The Baccarat Residences at 20 West 53rd Street stand as a pinnacle of luxury living in Midtown Manhattan, marrying exceptional architectural design with unparalleled service. Rising 50 stories above the city, this mixed-use tower houses 61 private residences atop 114 luxurious hotel rooms. Residents enter a private entrance and lobby but can enjoy the hotel’s five-star amenities, including the Spa de La Mer, a fitness center, an indoor pool, and world-class dining.

The tower’s location, directly across from the Museum of Modern Art and moments from Fifth Avenue, Central Park, and Rockefeller Center, provides easy access to premier shopping, dining, and cultural experiences in one of New York’s most prestigious neighborhoods. Many north-facing homes have glimpses of Central Park.

Architecturally, the Baccarat’s sleek and minimalist exterior by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill serves as a refined “jewel case” for the tower’s opulent interiors. Designed by Tony Ingrao, the interiors showcase a striking aesthetic, featuring dark wood paneling, rich marble accents, and an impressive Baccarat crystal wall behind the concierge desk that embodies the building’s commitment to elegance. The double-height lobby is framed by fluted marble columns, creating a sense of grandeur upon entry, while the tower itself is setback from its base.

Within the Baccarat Residences, amenities cater to every aspect of luxury living. A full-time doorman, concierge, and valet service ensure convenience, while private lounges, a curated courtyard, and outdoor entertainment spaces provide residents with exclusive retreats. The building also includes on-site parking and a bike room.

The design extends to the smallest details: smoked oak paneling lines the elevators, while the north and south façades incorporate sculpted grooves between floors for a sense of dimensionality. The building’s base is adorned with vertical mullions and canopies, giving the lower levels an airy, sophisticated feel that complements the warm tones of the Baccarat crystals. The side façades feature angled window surrounds, enhancing the tower’s visual texture and creating dynamic light and shadow play.

The Baccarat’s site has a rich history, previously occupied by the Donnell Library, a building known for its 1950 Spartan design by Aymar Embury II and Edgar I. Williams. The Donnell was sold in 2007, with plans for a luxury hotel connected to the nearby 21 Club; however, these plans fell through, eventually leading to the Baccarat’s development. Today, the Baccarat Residences stand amid other historic buildings and landmarks, such as St. Thomas Episcopal Church, the CBS Building, and the Jean Nouvel-designed 53 West 53red Street. 

The Centurion, located at 33 West 56th Street just off Fifth Avenue, stands as I.M. Pei's only ground-up residential condominium project in New York City. Completed in 2009, this 17-story building was designed by the Pritzker Prize-winning architect and his son Sandi Pei, representing a collaboration between the legendary designer behind the Louvre Pyramid and the Bank of China Tower. The building is clad in Chamesson limestone from France – the same material used at the Four Seasons Hotel – and features distinctive cascading terraces and five dramatic "lanterns," which are double-height windows with 17-foot ceilings that extend above the building's tapered setbacks.

The building's 48 condominium units showcase remarkable variety, with ceiling heights ranging from 10 to 17 feet and layouts spanning one to four bedrooms. Three penthouses crown the building, while 13 apartments feature private terraces. Common design elements throughout include teak flooring, oversized sound-insulated windows, and custom natural walnut cabinetry with unique 1.5-inch thick glass countertops. Kitchens are equipped with premium appliances including Sub-Zero refrigerators, Wolf ranges, Viking microwaves, and Bosch dishwashers. Master bathrooms feature marble floors, deep soaking tubs, separate showers, and dual vanities, with some units offering spa-like amenities such as steam showers.

The building's amenities reflect its white-glove service approach, including 24-hour concierge and doorman services, a recently renovated private fitness center with Technogym equipment, a 65-car attended garage, and a distinctive lobby water garden with waterfall and reflecting pool designed by I.M. Pei himself. The lobby features soft cream-colored Magny du Louvre limestone and blood Anigre wood finishes, creating a serene atmosphere that complements the building's sophisticated aesthetic.

Situated in Manhattan's prestigious Plaza District, the Centurion occupies a site with notable history – it replaced several buildings including one that housed Club Napoleon, a famous speakeasy frequented by Mae West and George Raft. The location provides residents with immediate access to Central Park, Fifth Avenue luxury shopping including Tiffany and Bergdorf Goodman, the Museum of Modern Art, and world-class dining and theater options, making it one of the city's most coveted addresses.

The J.W. Marriott Essex House at 160 Central Park South is a distinguished 43-story Art Deco tower designed by Frank Grad that opened in 1931.
