New York City Luxury Condos

Built in 1926, 988 Fifth Avenue is a 14-story Italian Renaissance-style condominium designed by J. E. R. Carpenter. Located on the southeast corner of 80th Street, the building is distinguished by its detailed façade featuring rectangular quoins, arched window frames on the fifth floor, substantial balconies on the 11th floor, and a decorative balustraded roofline. Converted to a condominium in 1981, it remains one of the few on Fifth Avenue and offers views of Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Developed by the Lion Brewery of New York, with Hugh A. Murray as president, the building reflects Carpenter's architectural finesse.

The exclusive building contains only 12 full-floor residences, providing a high level of privacy and service. Each unit comes with a designated storage bin, and residents benefit from amenities that include a doorman, sidewalk landscaping, and a pet-friendly policy. The sidestreet entrance further enhances the building's sense of discretion.

Apartments at 988 Fifth Avenue feature spacious layouts and elegant finishes. For example, a ninth-floor unit includes a 13-foot-wide entrance gallery, a 27-foot-wide living room with Central Park views, a library, a dining room, four bedrooms, a large kitchen, and a pantry. Another unit boasts an 11-foot-square circular foyer leading to a living room, library, dining room, media room, gallery, and four bedrooms, all with similar park-facing views.

Notable transactions at 988 Fifth Avenue include a $20 million sale by Barbara and Richard Shiffrin to Amy Abrams in 2011, and a $19.5 million sale by Selig Zises, founder of Integrated Resources, in 2012.

443 Greenwich Street stands as one of Tribeca's most prestigious residential conversions, transforming a 1880s book bindery warehouse into 53 luxury condominiums in 2014. The landmarked red-brick building was meticulously restored by CetraRuddy Architects, who preserved its historic façade complete with large arched windows and distinctive stringcourses while adding modern luxury throughout. The building's most striking feature is its 4,000-square-foot landscaped interior courtyard designed by landscape architect Hank White, surrounded by 600 windows with restored shutters—a detail that required landmark commission approval.

The building has become a celebrity magnet, attracting high-profile residents including Jake Gyllenhaal, Meg Ryan, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, Jennifer Lawrence, and Harry Styles. Its prime north Tribeca location between Desbrosses and Vestry streets, combined with the rare luxury of an underground parking garage with electric charging stations, offers the privacy and convenience that draws A-list residents to this cobblestone block just two blocks from Hudson River Park.

The apartments seamlessly blend historic character with contemporary luxury, featuring restored 1882 Carolina yellow pine beams and columns, soaring 11-foot ceilings, and 8-inch wide white oak flooring throughout. Kitchens are designed by Christopher Peacock with Calacatta marble islands and countertops, complemented by top-tier appliances including Wolf ranges, Sub-Zero refrigerators, and dual Miele dishwashers.

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.

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.
