Top New Condos (Post 2000)

Designed by renowned architect Robert A.M. Stern and completed in 2008, 15 Central Park West stands as one of Manhattan's most prestigious residential addresses. The development consists of two limestone towers: "The House," a 20-story building directly fronting Central Park, and "The Tower," a 43-story structure positioned mid-block. Built on the former site of the historic Mayflower Hotel, this full-block complex between 61st and 62nd Streets houses 202 residences and sold out rapidly for approximately $2 billion, establishing itself as the city's premier luxury condominium.

The building has attracted an impressive roster of high-profile residents, including Denzel Washington, Robert De Niro, Sting, Alex Rodriguez, Lloyd Blankfein, and Mark Wahlberg. Most notably, the building made headlines when Ekaterina Rybolovleva, daughter of Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev, purchased Sanford Weill's penthouse for $88 million in 2011, setting a record as the highest individual real estate transaction in New York City history at the time. Weill, the former Citigroup chairman, donated the proceeds to charity as part of his downsizing within the same building.

Residences typically feature 10 to 14-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and herringbone hardwood floors, with 90% of units offering direct Central Park views. Common apartment amenities include marble bathrooms with radiant heated floors, top-of-the-line appliances from Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Miele, and custom-designed closets and built-ins. The penthouses are particularly spectacular, with some spanning 5,000 to 6,000 square feet and featuring terraced duplexes. Many units also include individual wine cellars and separate staff quarters.

The building's amenities rival those of a luxury resort, including a 14,000-square-foot fitness center with a 75-foot skylit lap pool, a residents-only restaurant with butler service, a private screening room designed by Theo Kalomirakis, library, billiards room, and individual wine storage. The development features two distinct lobbies—one facing Central Park with dual fireplaces and paneling, and another accessed through a cobblestone motor court with valet parking. With over 40 full-time staff members providing white-glove service, 15 Central Park West has maintained its reputation as the epitome of luxury Manhattan living.

Designed by David Childs of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill and completed in 2004, the Deutsche Bank Center is located at 80 Columbus Circle on the Upper West Side.

Much of what has drawn eager buyers is the Deutsche Bank Center’s premier location. It offers more than geography, though, as residents enjoy elegantly designed spaces with first-rate finishes and premium appliances.

Deutsche Bank Center amenities include a screening room, party rooms, a children's playroom, an in-house garage with valet parking, a chauffeur's lounge. Residents also enjoy access to such Mandarin Oriental Hotel conveniences as in-room-dining, housekeeping and laundry services, Zen-like spa treatments, state-of-the-art-fitness center, 75' indoor pool, cutting edge cuisine, valet service, and concierge service daily. In addition to 198 apartments, the twin 750-foot towers house the 250-room, five-star Mandarin Oriental Hotel and the Jazz at Lincoln Center performance space.

Deustche Bank Center is also occupied by a multi-story galleria called the Shops at Columbus Center with many restaurants and retailers, including Masa, Per Se, Ascent Lounge, Porter House, L’Occitane, Hugo Boss, and Whole Foods.

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.

150 Charles Street is a 15-story, 91-unit luxury condominium in the Far West Village that occupies nearly three-quarters of a block between West, Washington, Charles and West 10th Streets. Completed in 2015 by The Witkoff Group and designed by CookFox architects with interiors by Alan Wanzenberg, the building incorporates a former Whitehall storage facility and features a distinctive red brick façade that transitions to black metal on upper floors. The development includes 10 four-story townhouse units with private street entrances and steps down toward the Hudson River with numerous terraces, creating a thoughtful integration with the neighborhood's scale.

The building's apartments showcase consistently high-end finishes across all units, including 10-11+ foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and wide-plank hardwood floors. Kitchens feature Molteni cabinetry, Alabama white marble countertops, and LeFroy Brooks fixtures, paired with premium appliances from Wolf, Miele, and Sub-Zero. Bathrooms maintain the luxury standard with custom marble work, deep soaking tubs, and radiant heated floors. Many units offer Hudson River views, and larger residences include features like private elevator access, wine refrigerators, and expansive terraces.

The amenities rival those of a luxury resort, anchored by a 3,000-square-foot fitness center and spa featuring a 75-foot lap pool, cold plunge, whirlpool, steam rooms, saunas, and massage treatment rooms. Additional facilities include a 24-hour doorman and concierge, private covered driveway with parking garage, children's playroom, entertainment lounge, and 40,000 square feet of landscaped outdoor space including courtyards and multiple terraces. The building has attracted notable residents including developer Steven Witkoff, supermodel Irina Shayk, and musician Jon Bon Jovi, reflecting its status as one of the West Village's premier addresses.

One Madison, located at 23 East 22nd Street at the intersection of Chelsea, NoMad, Gramercy and the Flatiron District, is a distinctive 60-story residential tower designed by CetraRuddy. The slender skyscraper, featuring seven dramatic "pop-out" elements on its north and east façades, was originally developed by Slazer Enterprises before being acquired by Related Companies, CIM Group and HFZ Capital in 2012 when the project had about 55 unsold units. The building contains 63 condominium residences and stands as one of Manhattan's most architecturally striking towers, positioned at the start of Madison Avenue with commanding views of Madison Square Park.

The building has attracted notable high-profile residents, including media mogul Rupert Murdoch, who purchased the top four floors for $57.5 million in 2014 before listing the top three floors for $72 million the following year. Other celebrity residents have included Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen, as well as Peter Buffett (son of Warren Buffett) and Harvey Schiller, former Chairman of YankeeNets. The building's exclusivity is enhanced by its limited number of units, with some floors containing only two residences.

Residences feature expansive layouts with floor-to-ceiling windows, high ceilings ranging from 10 to 11 feet, and open kitchens with islands. Many apartments showcase 360-degree views encompassing Madison Square Park, the Empire State Building, and the Manhattan skyline. Premium finishes include wide-plank white oak floors, Gaggenau appliances, and marble countertops and backsplashes. Select units feature wraparound terraces, while the building also includes unique townhouse duplexes and triplexes in a separate 6-story structure with private terraces. Additionally, the development includes a separate 6-story building on East 22nd Street designed by BKSK Architects, housing townhouse-style residences with private terraces.

The building offers over 10,000 square feet of amenities designed by Yabu Pushelberg, collectively known as "The One Club." These include a glass-enclosed steam room overlooking Madison Square Park, a 50-foot lap pool, state-of-the-art fitness center with yoga room, private screening room, parlor with billiards table, and a private dining room with gourmet catering kitchen. The full-service building provides 24-hour doorman and concierge services, with all elevators requiring key fob access for enhanced security and privacy.

The 17-story, 53-unit building at 160 West 12th Street is part of the Greenwich Lane development. FXCollaborative was the architect of transformation of St. Vincent's Hospital into one of the city's most sought-after condominiums.

Finely crafted apartments combine old New York glamour with modern living. Amenities include a central garden with landscaping by M. Paul Friedberg & Partners, a dedicated fitness floor with pool and golf simulator, a private screening room with wet bar, a lounge with dining room, and kitchen, a 24-hour attended lobby, and an underground garage.

Deep in the heart of Greenwich Village, the Greenwich Lane is a short walk from the High Line, the Meatpacking District, and Chelsea. The New York City AIDS Memorial is across the street.

Designed by renowned architects Tsai & McGowan, River Lofts is comprised of a newly constructed 13-story tower on Laight Street and an impeccably restored Romanesque Revival loft warehouse on Washington Street.

The Washington Street building has 30 lofts and 92 Laight Street contains 38 residences. Apartments range in size from 1,100 to 3,900 square feet.

Lofts feature oversized, triple-glazed windows, 10-foot ceilings, integrated sound systems, high-speed wiring and cable, central air conditioning and walnut hardwood floors. Spacious master bedroom suites have dressing rooms and limestone spa bathrooms; eat-in-kitchens have custom cabinetry and premium appliances. Separate laundry rooms are equipped with ample storage space and double washers and dryers.

River Lofts has a courtyard, a fitness center, a bike room, storage rooms and a parking garage with direct elevator access. Its TriBeCa location across West Street from the Hudson River Park is near many restaurants, cafes and boutiques.

56 Leonard Street is a 60-story residential condominium tower in TriBeCa designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architects Herzog & de Meuron, known for Beijing's 'Bird's Nest' stadium. The building was co-developed by Hines and Alexico Group, headed by Ivan Senbahar and Simon Elias. The tower stands on a 12,500-square-foot site formerly occupied by New York Law School's Mendik Law Library building.

The building's distinctive architecture features a unique 'pixelated' design where each floor is different and rotated from those above and below, creating the appearance of individual houses stacked in the sky. All 145 residences feature private outdoor spaces with floor-to-ceiling glass windows offering panoramic views. At the building's base sits a specially commissioned stainless steel sculpture by renowned artist Anish Kapoor, similar to his famous 'Cloud Gate' in Chicago.

Residential units feature 11-12 foot ceilings (14-foot in penthouses), Appalachian solid White Oak flooring, and custom interiors by Herzog & de Meuron. Kitchens include sculptural elements such as black granite islands, Corian countertops, and high-end appliances from Sub-Zero and Miele. The building includes eight full-floor penthouses and two half-floor penthouses.

The building offers 17,000 square feet of amenities spread across two floors, including a 75-foot infinity edge pool, sundeck, state-of-the-art fitness center, spa facilities with steam room and sauna, library lounge, screening room, conference room, and children's playroom. The lobby features gleaming black granite finishes and is staffed by a doorman and concierge, with seven elevators serving the building.

Bathrooms feature travertine and marble finishes with radiant heated floors, and units are equipped with 4-pipe heating and cooling systems for year-round multi-zone climate control. The building includes modern conveniences such as on-site parking and private storage units.

Located in the heart of TriBeCa, 56 Leonard Street stands approximately five blocks south of Canal Street and four blocks north of City Hall, positioning it as a significant architectural landmark in downtown Manhattan's skyline.

The Park Laurel at 15 West 63rd Street is a distinctive 41-story condominium tower completed in 2000, designed by Beyer Blinder Belle and Costas Kondylis for developers Vornado Realty Trust and David Edelstein. The building's most striking feature is its large, stepped pyramidal top that makes it highly visible from Central Park. Built above and adjacent to the historic West Side YMCA, the tower preserves the landmark Romanesque-style façade of the former McBurney School while incorporating it into the modern structure. The light red brick was specifically chosen to harmonize with the neighboring YMCA building, creating an architecturally cohesive streetscape.

The building houses 56 luxury condominium apartments spanning floors 14 through 40, with nearly all units offering sweeping Central Park views. Apartments range from two to four bedrooms, with sizes varying dramatically from 1,309 square feet to over 7,000 square feet for full-floor units. Notable residences include a Charles Gwathmey-designed penthouse duplex with 360-degree views and 20-foot ceilings, and several full-floor apartments featuring expansive terraces overlooking Central Park. Common luxury finishes throughout the building include Calacatta Gold marble bathrooms, premium appliances from Sub-Zero, Miele, and Thermador, herringbone hardwood floors, and individual climate controls.

The development faced significant controversy during its 15-year planning process, with notable opponents including Madonna and other prominent residents who argued the tower would overwhelm the neighborhood. The project ultimately moved forward using inclusionary housing zoning, which allowed additional density in exchange for preserving affordable housing units. This air-rights development not only created the luxury tower but also expanded the historic YMCA facilities.

The Park Laurel offers white-glove service with 24-hour doorman and concierge, a fitness center, children's playroom, and bicycle storage. Its prime location provides immediate access to Central Park, Lincoln Center, and Columbus Circle, making it one of Manhattan's most coveted addresses for those seeking luxury living with unparalleled park views and cultural amenities.

Completed in 2000, 515 Park Avenue stands as one of the tallest residential buildings on Park Avenue above 59th Street, rising 43 stories with only 30 apartments. Developed by the Zeckendorf General Partnership and designed by Frank Williams & Associates, this limestone and beige-brick tower replaced a pre-war Italian Renaissance palazzo, though its post-modern interpretation drew sharp criticism from architectural critics. Robert A.M. Stern described its silhouette as "awkward," while Paul Goldberger called it "particularly ungainly" with a "pretentious muddle" façade, despite its commercial success during the late 1990s luxury boom.

The building has attracted notable residents including theater impresario James L. Nederlander, luxury magnate François Pinault (owner of Christie's), music executive L.A. Reid, and Vivendi Universal chairman Jean-Marie Messier. Apartments showcase grand prewar-inspired proportions with 10 to 11.5-foot ceilings, herringbone hardwood and parquet de Versailles floors, and floor-to-ceiling windows offering Central Park and city views. Many units feature chef's kitchens with high-end Thermador, SubZero, and Miele appliances, marble and onyx bathrooms, and multiple bedrooms with en-suite baths. Twelve of the 38 apartments are duplexes, including spectacular 5,000-square-foot penthouses on floors 36-37 designed by renowned decorator Juan Pablo Molyneux, complete with private interior elevators and sweeping onyx staircases.

The building offers white-glove service with Chef Daniel Boulud as exclusive caterer, along with 15 private climate-controlled wine cellars, 38 storage rooms, and individual staff suites on the second floor for residents' use. Additional amenities include a state-of-the-art fitness center, private dining room with full catering kitchen, concierge and valet services, and 24-hour security. Located at the corner of Park Avenue and 60th Street, the building provides easy access to Central Park, Madison Avenue shopping, and Midtown's business district while maintaining the quieter residential character of the Upper East Side.
