Top New Condos (Post 2000)

The Dance Building at 217 West 19th Street brings Chelsea’s cherished tradition of combined arts space and loft living into the 21st century. Dance studios and a performance space spans the lower levels. The floors above hold only 12 apartments, creating a discrete lifestyle with just one or two units per floor. Roomy apartments span from 2,158 to 2,675 square feet and feature balconies in every unit. The Rawlings Architects-designed building features a minimalist façade and ribbon window bands that harken to the turn-of-the-twentieth-century Modernist avant-garde.

The Hubert, completed in 2003 at 7 Hubert Street on a picturesque cobblestone street in TriBeCa, stands as one of the neighborhood's most distinguished residential buildings. Designed by BKSK Architects with interiors by Alan Wanzenberg, this 16-story orange-brick condominium features large multi-paned industrial-style windows with dark-green sashes, arched windows on select floors, and a two-story limestone base. The building's design pays thoughtful homage to the area's industrial heritage while delivering modern luxury living.

The building houses 33 apartments across 19 different floor plans, ranging from a 1,787-square-foot two-bedroom unit to a spectacular 5,244-square-foot penthouse with a 360-degree wrap-around terrace. Notable residences include two mansion-width townhouses with private garages and gardens, three sprawling maisonettes, and the remarkable "Sky House" - a 6,250-square-foot custom combination spanning two floors with four landscaped terraces. Most apartments feature soaring 11- to 12-foot ceilings, and 14 of the 33 units boast private outdoor space. The interiors showcase premium finishes including wide-plank oak floors, custom Poggenpohl cabinetry, marble bathrooms, and top-tier appliances from Sub-Zero, Miele, and Thermador.

Residents enjoy white-glove service with 24-hour doorman and concierge, along with amenities including a state-of-the-art fitness center, children's playroom, landscaped courtyard garden, refrigerated delivery storage, and individual basement storage. The building's prime location places residents just two blocks from Hudson River Park in the heart of TriBeCa's historic district, surrounded by the neighborhood's renowned dining, shopping, and cultural attractions. The Hubert successfully bridges the gap between townhouse-style privacy and full-service luxury living, making it one of TriBeCa's most coveted addresses.
