New York City Luxury Condos

1049 Fifth Avenue merges an opulent pre-war style with state-of-the art finishes and technology.

It recently underwent an interior gut renovation that included substantial soundproofing between floors and apartments. With only 54 condominium residences on 23 floors, there are no more than three units per floor, with one floor designated for smaller staff apartments.

Residences are sprawling, averaging over 2,000 square feet. There are libraries with raised panel walls, coffered ceilings, Chicago windows with hand-operated panels, solid core raised panel doors, crown moldings and hand-laid rosewood herringbone patterned floors with ebony borders. Marble bathrooms have cherry wood raised panel cabinetry, double sink vanities and deep soaking tubs. Eat-in kitchens have top-of-the-line appliances, white marble and polished gray granite floors, full-size washers and dryers and butler’s pantries with warming ovens. Many residences have multiple terraces offering some of the best views in Manhattan of Central Park and the city.

It has a full-time doorman and concierge, private storage, attended elevators, a bicycle room and refrigerator storage for deliveries.

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.

The Laureate at 2150 Broadway stands as a distinguished 20-story condominium on the prime corner of West 76th Street and Broadway in the Upper West Side. Completed in 2010 by The Stahl Organization, this 71-unit building was designed by SLCE architects with interiors by the renowned Deborah Berke and Partners. The building's striking limestone façade features ornate balconies and a distinctive rounded corner, allowing it to blend seamlessly with the neighborhood's iconic pre-war architecture while offering contemporary luxury.

Residences range from spacious two bedroom units to expansive seven bedroom penthouses spanning over 4,000 square feet, many featuring private terraces with panoramic city and Hudson River views. Common apartment features include wide-plank walnut flooring, 10-foot ceilings, and Juliet balconies overlooking Broadway. The custom-designed kitchens showcase Sub-Zero and Viking appliances with quartzite countertops and stainless steel tile backsplashes, while master bathrooms are appointed with Bianco marble and distinctive Orion Blue marble wainscoting, radiant heated floors, and oversized soaking tubs. All units come equipped with Crestron smart home technology systems, in-unit washers and dryers, and energy-efficient sound-attenuated windows.

The building offers an impressive array of amenities including a 24-hour doorman and concierge, live-in resident manager, and full-service parking garage accessible from within the building. Residents enjoy access to landscaped common terraces, a fitness center, and a music room featuring a baby grand player piano. Amenities include two children's playrooms with an outdoor playground, while additional conveniences encompass bike storage, a pet spa, and private storage units. The location places residents steps from the Beacon Theater, Zabar's, and numerous restaurants, with convenient access to public transportation throughout the culturally rich Upper West Side.

The Carlton House, located at 680 Madison Avenue at East 61st Street, was originally designed as a hotel by Kenneth B. Norton in 1950. In 2010, Extell Development and Angelo Gordon purchased the property for $170 million and undertook an extensive conversion, completed in 2013, transforming it into 68 luxury residences and one townhouse under the architectural direction of Beyer Blinder Belle.

The 16-story building features a distinctive brown-brick exterior with a three-story limestone base and handsome pilasters. The conversion included the addition of two infill buildings along its west side, ending its free-standing status, and the creation of a new five-story limestone townhouse on 61st Street that serves as both the main building entrance and a private residence.

Residents enjoy comprehensive amenities including 24-hour doorman and concierge service, a 65-foot heated indoor swimming pool, state-of-the-art fitness center, steam rooms, game room, bicycle storage, and cold storage.

Many units offer split bedroom layouts, central air conditioning, and in-unit washer/dryers. The building's location, just a half block from Central Park and surrounded by Madison Avenue's luxury boutiques and fine dining, places it among Manhattan's most coveted addresses.

The Astor Place at 445 Lafayette Street is a 21-story residential tower completed in 2004, distinguished by its undulating glass façade and curved architectural design. The building contains 39 residences ranging from 1,449 to 4,156 square feet, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and contemporary finishes. Designed by Gwathmey Siegel & Associates, the building stands as a notable architectural landmark at the intersection of Lafayette Street, Astor Place, and Fourth Avenue.

The project's development history included earlier unrealized designs by renowned architects Rem Koolhaus and Frank Gehry before Related Companies commissioned Gwathmey Siegel for the final design. The building sits on land owned by Cooper Union, which created a 99-year lease arrangement for the development.

Residences feature high-end finishes including cherry wood cabinets, granite countertops, and premium appliances from Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Miele.

Grand Madison at 225 Fifth Avenue is a Renaissance Revival landmark building that occupies an entire blockfront between 25th and 26th streets, directly overlooking Madison Square Park. Originally constructed in 1906 as the Brunswick Hotel by architects Francis H. Kimball and Harry E. Donnell, the red-brick building with limestone base later served as elegant showrooms for the gift industry before Elad Properties acquired it for approximately $125 million in 2004 and converted it into 190-192 condominium apartments.

The building's apartments typically feature 10-foot ceilings, Poggenpohl kitchens with Viking and Bosch appliances, wide plank oak hardwood floors, and marble bathrooms, often in Carrara marble. Units range from spacious one-bedrooms to impressive duplex penthouses, with the latter offering multiple terraces up to 252 square feet and views of iconic buildings like the Empire State Building and Flatiron Building. Many apartments showcase the building's showroom heritage with exceptionally long entrance galleries - some stretching up to 33 feet - and expansive living spaces that can accommodate both living and formal dining areas.

Grand Madison provides white-glove service with 24-hour doorman and concierge, a fitness center, landscaped courtyard, and roof deck.

Additional services include in-house dry cleaning, daily housekeeping, and a live-in superintendent, though the building lacks a parking garage.

The location places residents at the heart of the revitalized NoMad district, with Eataly directly across the street and Madison Square Park's original Shake Shack steps away. Notable residents have included news anchor Lester Holt. The building's prime position offers easy access to the dining and cultural attractions of both the Flatiron District and Chelsea, while multiple subway lines provide convenient transportation throughout the city.

Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Richard Meier, 165 Charles Street stands as the third and southernmost tower in a celebrated trio of modern residential buildings that transformed the West Village waterfront when it opened in 2005. This 16-story boutique condominium distinguishes itself from its Perry Street siblings by being the only building where Meier designed both the exteriors and interiors, delivering fully finished residences complete with custom details down to the doorknobs. The building houses 30 apartments plus one penthouse, with most floors featuring two river-facing units, and won the AIA 2005 Housing Design Award for its architectural excellence.

The building has attracted an impressive roster of high-profile residents, including Calvin Klein, Natalie Portman, Martha Stewart, Princess Khaliya Aga Khan, and the Winklevoss Twins, along with gallery owner Barbara Gladstone and fashion designer Norma Kamali. Apartments feature 11-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling triple-paned windows, and wide-plank Wenge wood floors, with river-facing units offering private balconies and unobstructed Hudson River views.

Each apartment comes with a private wine cellar capable of storing 360 bottles, while the building's prime West Village location provides direct access to Hudson River Park and proximity to the neighborhood's renowned dining and shopping. The building's position offers the best southern views of Lower Manhattan among the three Meier towers, making it a coveted address that sold out in record time upon completion.
