New York City Luxury Condos

135 West 52nd Street is a 47-story luxury condominium in Midtown Manhattan, converted in 2014 from the former Flatotel by The Chetrit Group and Clipper Equity. The building, originally constructed in 1985 and designed by Rafael Vinoly, was transformed by CetraRuddy Architects into 109 residences. A striking architectural feature is the 423-foot lighting installation by renowned designer Thierry Dreyfus, who previously illuminated the Grand Palais in Paris and Chateau de Versailles.

The building's distinctive design includes a dramatic three-story glass entrance leading to a 35-foot-high lobby featuring walnut wood-paneled walls, White Onyx stone, and custom chandeliers. The façade combines Dark Pearl granite at its 7-story base with gunmetal gray and bright stainless steel above, punctuated by five set-back terraces. The building features a through-block arcade to 53rd Street, part of a city initiative to create a six-block-long pedestrian passageway in the west 50s. This thoughtful urban planning element adds to the building's integration with the surrounding neighborhood.

Residences feature 10-foot ceilings, 5-inch-wide rift sawn white oak floors, and Dada Italian walnut kitchens with Calacatta Vision marble countertops and Miele appliances. Select units include gas fireplaces with Bianco Puro marble surrounds and Rimadesio sliding glass walls. Master baths showcase Siberian white marble and radiant heated floors.

The building offers 12,000 square feet of amenities spread across multiple floors, including a 75-foot indoor swimming pool, state-of-the-art fitness center, spa facilities with steam and sauna, golf simulator, private screening room, children's playroom, and furnished outdoor terrace. A 24-hour doorman and concierge service the building.

The property has an intriguing history, having gone through several iterations including a period of vacancy in the late 1980s before becoming the Flatotel. Its location provides convenient access to the Theater District, Rockefeller Center, Fifth Avenue shopping, and numerous subway lines.

Designed by Pritzker Prize winning architect Jean Nouvel, 100 Eleventh Avenue stands as one of Chelsea's most distinctive architectural landmarks since its completion in 2010. Nouvel described the 21 story building as a "vision machine," featuring what the project claims to be the most highly engineered and technologically advanced curtain wall ever constructed in New York City. The building's dramatic façade consists of nearly 1,700 different sized panes of colorless glass, each set at a unique angle and torque, creating what Nouvel envisioned as a "dazzling, Mondrian like window pattern" inspired by the stained glass windows of Paris's 13th century Gothic cathedral of Saint Chapelle.

The building contains 72 apartments ranging from studios to four bedrooms, spanning 890 to 4,675 square feet. Most apartments feature south and west views and are distinguished by Nouvel's custom designed elements including white terrazzo floors throughout, custom terrazzo kitchen islands with built in mobile units, and touch sensitive bathroom fixtures designed specifically for Jado. The building's unique seven story street wall creates a semi enclosed atrium with suspended gardens that appear to float in mid air, while some residences feature private indoor and outdoor terraces.

Residents enjoy white glove amenities including 24 hour doorman service, concierge, a 70 foot indoor/outdoor heated swimming pool, fitness center with steam room and sauna, private screening room, and valet parking. The building is strategically located between 19th and 20th Streets, directly across from Frank Gehry's IAC Building and within walking distance of the High Line, Chelsea Piers, Whitney Museum, and over 300 art galleries in the West Chelsea Gallery District.

Notable residents have included Kelsey Grammer, Stevie Nicks, Vincent Gallo, and former NFL quarterback John Elway. The building's development was not without controversy, as Nouvel publicly criticized changes made to his original lobby design in 2010, when developers replaced his elegant polished granite lobby with carpeting and added decorative boulders, leading the architect to declare they had "gone off course." Despite these disputes, 100 Eleventh Avenue remains what critics called an "instant landmark" and continues to be recognized as a major architectural achievement.

Rising 664 feet above Fifth Avenue at 56th Street, Trump Tower is an architectural landmark that has redefined luxury living in New York City. Completed in 1983, this 58-story skyscraper was designed by Swanke Hayden Connell with lead architect Der Scutt, embodying a bold and brassy aesthetic with distinctive sawtooth faceting. It remains one of Manhattan's most recognizable mixed-use developments.

The top 38 floors of Trump Tower house 256 luxury condominiums, offering some of the city's most breathtaking views of Central Park, the Manhattan skyline, and the rivers. These residences include duplex and triplex penthouses (one of which is home to Donald Trump himself), featuring spacious layouts with floor-to-ceiling windows, marble bathrooms, Jacuzzi bathtubs, and custom kitchens equipped with state-of-the-art appliances. Select units also boast expansive private terraces.

The building’s dramatic interior design is highlighted by a seven-story mirrored atrium with a cascading waterfall, pink Breccia Pernice marble, and brass accents throughout. Public areas, including the atrium and Fifth Avenue lobby, exude an unmistakable air of Post-Modern opulence. The atrium, adorned with crisscrossed escalators and crowned with a slanted skylight, offers a spectacle that draws tourists and residents alike.

Residents enjoy top notch services, including 24-hour valet, concierge, doormen, a fitness center, maid service, and access to a residents' lounge. The Fifth Avenue entrance is reserved for retail and office use, while a private, understated entrance on 56th Street leads to the residential floors, ensuring exclusivity.

Situated at the heart of Manhattan, Trump Tower is surrounded by luxury retail icons like  Bergdorf Goodman and Tiffany & Co., as are well-known restaurants. Central Park and the Plaza Hotel are two blocks away and the area is convenient to most public transportation.

Trump Tower’s unique sawtooth design reduces visual massing while maximizing corner windows, ensuring light-filled interiors and unparalleled views. Its vertical stepping and landscaped setbacks at the base are a nod to Art Deco styling, contributing to the building's  presence on the skyline.

The site of Trump Tower was once home to the Bonwit Teller Building, a limestone-clad retail landmark demolished to make way for this iconic project. Despite controversies surrounding its construction, the tower has remained a defining symbol of luxury and ambition. Notably, it served as the set for Donald Trump’s reality show Celebrity Apprentice and later gained global prominence as Trump’s residence during his presidency.

The Zinc Building is a 7 story, 21 unit boutique condominium at 475 Greenwich Street, completed in 2008 by Douglaston Development and designed by Greenberg Farrow Architects. Occupying a triangular site directly over the Holland Tunnel, the building is one of the few freestanding new developments in Manhattan. Its modern glass façade features slightly angled windows along a quiet cobblestone street at the intersection of TriBeCa, Hudson Square, and SoHo. The developers agreed with Community Board 1 not to lease any of the building's 8,000 square feet of retail space to nightclubs or bars.

Apartments range from approximately 1,500 to 3,000 square feet and share several signature features: soaring 10 to 11 foot ceilings, expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, and Brazilian wenge wood floors. Open chef's kitchens are outfitted with Sub-Zero and Miele appliances, poured concrete countertops, and Italian white oak cabinetry. Most units include in-unit washer/dryers, central air conditioning, and generous custom closet space. Primary suites typically feature large walk-in closets and windowed spa bathrooms with Italian marble and porcelain tile, double vanities, deep soaking Jacuzzi tubs, and glass enclosed rain showers. The duplex penthouses are particularly notable, with wood burning fireplaces, wraparound terraces of approximately 770 square feet, and private rooftop terraces spanning 981 square feet with panoramic city and Hudson River views.

The building offers full service amenities including a 24 hour doorman, porter and superintendent services, a fitness center, bike storage, and refrigerated storage for grocery deliveries. The building is pet friendly and provides private storage for residents. Located just one block from Hudson River Park and within the P.S. 234 school district, the building offers convenient access to multiple subway lines including the 1/2/3, A/C/E, N/Q/R, and 4/5/6 trains, placing residents at the center of downtown Manhattan's dining, shopping, and cultural offerings.

The 31-floor Siena at 188 East 76^th Street is a smart and elegant high-rise in the Upper East Side that evokes the tower of a graceful baroque cathedral.

To tie it to its historic neighbors, the Siena has a four-story base clad in granite and cast stone that echoes the limestone and granite façades in the surrounding area. Its 125 apartments are filled with the sort of desirable features usually associated with pre-war construction, such as eat-in kitchens with windows, entrance foyers and nine-and-a-half-foot ceilings. Kitchens feature top of the line appliances and bathrooms are outfitted with marble; units also have washers and dryers. The layouts are large – more than half of the residences are two bedrooms or bigger – and because of the relative narrowness of the Siena, most floors have only two or three units, adding an element of privacy and enhancing each apartment’s exposure to the outside.

Amenities include concierge service, a fitness center and a children's playroom. 188 East 76th Street is also located close to Central Park and many boutiques and cafes.

The Harrison at 205 West 76th Street is situated on the Upper West Side and is comprised of two separate buildings designed to blend in with the neighborhood’s pre-war architecture.

Constructed in 2009, it features more than 120 residences in its two towers. The Harrison is also LEED-certified, as units are equipped with modern appliances that are Energy Star-rated. Master bathrooms have premium fixtures and marble finishes and all apartments feature large, energy efficient windows that help regulate temperature, reducing monthly heating and cooling bills.

Amenities include concierge service, a full-time doorman, an entertainment lounge, a landscaped courtyard, a children’s playroom, a rooftop deck, a garage and a health and fitness club. Located between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue, the Harrison is near cultural and entertainment attractions including the Beacon Theater, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, Central Park and the American Museum of Natural History. Public transportation is only a few blocks away.

133 West 22nd Street is a distinctive 13-story, 100-unit condominium completed in 2008 by developers Ascend Group LLC and Magnum Real Estate Group. Designed by Cetra-Rudy, the building is notable for its striking façade featuring convex and concave curves, while its lobby showcases an art glass wall, stainless steel columns with rivet detail, and wenge wood walls. The property was developed on a site previously occupied by three 4-story walkups purchased for approximately $29 million.

The building offers an impressive suite of amenities including a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, and a landscaped roof terrace equipped with cabanas, wet bar, and two grilling stations. Residents enjoy access to a fitness center with sauna, an outdoor swimming pool with dining area, and private storage options. A parking garage is conveniently accessible directly from the basement.

Residential units feature floor-to-ceiling windows, ceiling heights of at least 9'6", and high-end finishes throughout. Kitchens are outfitted by ItalKitchen with black lava stone countertops, while master bathrooms incorporate Tau Corten tile walls, Blanco Dolomiti honed floors, and Crestola honed stone countertops.

Situated in the heart of Chelsea, the building offers excellent access to multiple subway lines at 23rd Street. The location provides convenient proximity to numerous amenities including Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Eataly, the High Line, Madison Square Park, and the Meatpacking District's dining and entertainment options.

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. The building notably housed the first Derek Jeter-branded gym in 2008, a 28,000-square-foot facility that was part of the 24 Hour Fitness chain. 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.

The Silk Building stands as one of NoHo's most culturally significant residential landmarks, originally constructed in 1908 as a silk garment factory in the Italian Renaissance palazzo style by Clinton & Russell Architects. The 12 story building was converted to a luxury condominium in the early 1980s, retaining beautiful historic friezes in its lobby that pay homage to its industrial origins. The building gained legendary status when Tower Records occupied its entire ground floor retail space from 1983 until the company's eventual closure, becoming a cultural epicenter during the height of MTV's influence and helping establish this stretch of Broadway as a destination for music lovers worldwide.

The Silk Building has attracted an impressive roster of celebrity residents, most notably in Penthouse 1109, a spectacular quadruplex that was owned successively by Russell Simmons, Keith Richards and Britney Spears. This penthouse featured a 54 foot wide living room, private terraces, and multiple levels spanning floors 10 through 12. Other notable residents have included Cher and fashion designer Charlotte Ronson, cementing the building's reputation as a magnet for entertainment industry figures and cultural tastemakers.

The building's 56 apartments showcase distinctive loft style layouts, with many units configured as duplexes and triplexes featuring soaring 10 to 12 foot ceilings, oversized windows, and wood burning fireplaces. Kitchens typically include premium appliances from Sub-Zero, Wolf, Viking, and Miele, while hardwood floors and open concept designs emphasize the building's industrial heritage. Many units offer both north and south exposures, with some penthouses featuring private terraces and panoramic city views.

Located at 14 East 4th Street, the full service building offers 24 hour doorman service, a live-in superintendent, laundry facilities on every floor, and a landscaped roof deck with sweeping skyline views. The prime NoHo location sits at the crossroads of Greenwich Village, SoHo, Union Square, and the East Village, providing residents with easy access to multiple subway lines, New York University, Washington Square Park, and some of downtown Manhattan's finest dining and shopping destinations.

Located at the crossroads of the Meatpacking District, the West Village and West Chelsea, the Porter House at 366 West 15th Street is a former industrial space that was converted into apartments. It is also known as 66 Ninth Avenue.

All 22 residences, which range from one to four bedrooms, feature tall ceilings, 4-inch-wide Jatoba hardwood flooring, in-residence washers and dryers and large windows. Kitchens are equipped with modern appliances and cabinetry and bathrooms have topnotch fixtures.

The Porter House has a full-time doorman, landscaped roof terrace, state-of-the-art fitness center, bike room, and cold storage. However, its most highly coveted feature is its address on the cusp of the West Village, the Meatpacking District, and Chelsea.
