New York City Luxury Condos

Robert A.M. Stern designed 15 Central Park West between 61^st and 62^nd Streets.

15 Central Park West is comprised of two limestone towers and features 202, one- to four-bedroom residences. Units offer multi-directional views and full-floor, duplex penthouses are extremely spacious, with some ranging between 5,000 and 6,000 square feet. Kitchens have top-of-the-line appliances and bathrooms are equipped with deluxe fixtures and finishes.

Amenities at 15 Central Park West include a 24-hour doorman, a private dining room and library, a screening room and a health club and pool. Many units also have individual wine cellars.

It is near the restaurants and shops of Columbus Circle as well as Central Park and the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.

The penthouse at 432 Park Avenue, the tallest apartment building in the nation, rises higher than the observatories at both the Empire State Building and One World Trade Center. Architect Rafael Viñoly makes a skyline statement through crisp, minimalist design. Ten-by-ten-foot windows open onto dramatic views of Central Park and all five boroughs. Fifteen-foot ceilings create a loft experience in every room.

Fully-staffed services include a concierge team, lounges and entertainment rooms, a fitness center managed by The Wright Fit, a private Pilates room, a 175-foot swimming pool, spa, and a private restaurant serviced by Shaun Hergatt, a Michelin-starred chef. It is located near Central Park, top shopping and dining, and major art galleries and auction houses.

The Puck Building at 295 Lafayette Street in SoHo, one of the city’s grand 19th Century buildings, is distinguished by two gilded statues of Puck, a character from Shakespeare’s “Mid-Summer’s Night Dream.” The full-service boutique residence with a 24-hour doorman consists of just 6 apartments atop a mixed-use building.

Of these, the most spectacular residence is the 5-bedroom, 7.5-bath penthouse with 7,241 square feet of interior and 5,158 square feet of exterior living space with a library, gym, home theater, wine cellar and landscaped private terraces with a yoga lawn, putting green, spa tub and wet bar.

The Westbury was completed as a hotel in 1927 and was converted to 47 condominium apartments in 1999. However, the building still offers such hotel-caliber amenities as a full-time staff, concierge service, a fitness center, a wine cellar, storage, and a bike room. The building is located at 15 East 69th Street, on the corner of East 69th Street and Madison Avenue and close to Central Park, world-class shopping, and fine dining.

Completed in 2000, 515 Park Avenue has only 30 apartments on 43 floors and is the tallest building on Park Avenue in the Upper East Side.

Residences at 515 Park Avenue are designed on a grand scale: some apartments have large terraces and its designers took care to employ expert craftsmanship in such details as mahogany paneled libraries, coffered ceilings, marble and herringbone wood floors and cherry wood cabinetry. Other features include fireplaces, billiard rooms, high ceilings, granite and marble countertops, marble bathrooms and butler’s pantries.

The amenities are equally impressive: there are 15 private, climate-controlled wine cellars, 38 storage rooms, a private gym with state-of-the-art equipment, a full-time doorman, concierge, valet services, a dining room and individual staff suites on the second floor for residents’ use. There’s also a kitchen for Chef Daniel Boulud, the exclusive caterer for 515 Park Avenue.

111 Central Park North, ideally located across from Central Park, rises 19 stories high and houses 48 apartments. Well-staffed, amenity-rich, pet-friendly building offerings include 24-hour doorman, concierge service, live-in superintendent, gym, party/playroom, cold storage, and common roof deck. Conveniently located bus and subway stops allow for a quick trip to Midtown Manhattan, but the immediate neighborhood is home to St. John the Divine, Museum Mile, the Conservatory Garden, and the George Washington Bridge.

The 22-story Walker Tower takes its name from Ralph Walker, the architect of the 1929 telephone switching building that comprises the lower floors. The architects at Cetra/Ruddy not only treated the original’s Art Deco with utmost deference, but also extended and intensified the energetic theme to create a 21st century masterpiece wrought in the finest Gotham style.

Building amenities include a 24-hour doorman, concierge, lounge, refrigerated storage, playroom, bike storage, gym, sauna and a roof deck.

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.

30 East 85^th Street is located on the southwest corner of Madison Avenue.

Built in 1987 and designed by the architects of SLCE, the 30-story development mixes gracious style and premium amenities with a killer location. It is very close to Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. All 90 apartments offer spectacular views through large wall-to-wall windows, west toward Central Park, east toward the East River and south to the Midtown skyline. Many apartments have balconies or terraces to further enjoy the views.

Layouts run from studios to four-bedrooms with a few duplexes. All feature top-of-the-line finishes and details, including solid wood doors, cherry wood floors and plaster walls. Kitchens have topnotch appliances, with glass and ash-blond cabinets imported from France and sinks from Germany. Bathrooms, meanwhile, are fitted with marble walls and floors and whirlpool baths. Most apartments have washers and dryers.

30 East 85th Street features concierge service for its residents, who also share the use of a garage, storage and bike rooms. Memberships to the David Barton Gym on the second floor are also available.
