New York City Luxury Condos

The 40 Broad Street Condominium opened in 2008 and is a reconstruction of an office building built in the 1980s.

It contains 167 apartments – available in studio, one- and two-bedroom layouts – that feature open spaces with rich Brazilian walnut floors and black granite border and 10-foot ceilings with full-height windows that help light up the contemporary spaces. Setai kitchens have custom cabinetry, black granite countertops, and backsplashes and premium appliances. Master baths feature Kohler soaking tubs, lavatories, and water closets. Units also have washers and dryers and state-of-the-art telecommunications capabilities, with multimedia ports in every room.

The 30-story building has a 24-hour doorman and over 44,000 sf of world class amenities that include a spa, fitness center with private trainers, library, lounge and screening room.  Another, smaller fitness center is also available. The roof is equipped with a glass-enclosed area with a fireplace as well as an outdoor whirlpool and cabanas. The roof offers views of the Statue of Liberty, Hudson River, and Manhattan skyline. Also present on the second floor is Reserve Cut Steak House. Nearby subway access includes the 2/3/4/5/A/E/J/Z/R/W and PATH trains, in addition to the South Street Ferries/Water Taxis, Fulton Street Station and the Oculus. Whole Foods and Lifetime Fitness slated to open at Wall & Broadway in 2020.

Cipriani Club Residences at 55 Wall Street is a condo situated in a 19th-century designated landmark with a location, architecture, history, and extensive amenities that few other condos can match, once described in a New York Times article as a property that “may be the most service-oriented new condominium project in New York City.” 

In 1841, noted architect Isaiah Rogers constructed the Merchants’ Exchange in grand Greek Revival Style; in 1907, the National City Bank acquired the building and added four more floors behind a second colonnade row, designed by McKim, Mead, and White. Restaurateur Cipriani converted the property in 2006, transforming the grand banking hall, once the world’s largest, into a restaurant and event space, described by author Bill Harris as “one of the world’s most elegant ballrooms.” Another restaurant nestles within the bank’s former vault; both venues offer preferential access to the conco residents.

Apartments come with tall ceilings, hardwood floors, unusually broad windows for pre-war buildings (particularly those that look through the Wall Street-facing colonnade), and stone- and wood-trimmed bathrooms.

The Residences offer the services of a doorman, porter, butler, round-the-clock concierge, and housekeeping, as well as access to a fitness center, a spa, a classically-styled billiards room, a library, a children’s playroom, a screening room, bicycle storage, and more. Outdoor spaces include a courtyard garden and a landscaped roof deck that looks out to the Financial District’s mythical skyline.

The building includes an elegant lobby, a 24-hour doorman, a separate 24 hour security staff, fitness room, commercial laundry room and an emergency generator. With Central Park at your front door, this sought-after condominium is perfectly located near world-class shopping along Fifth and Madison Avenue, fine dining, museums, theatre, and a wealth of neighborhood services. 

The 1915 masonry tower at 90 Franklin Street in TriBeCa was converted from office space into 25 apartments in 2001.

Rising without setbacks, Franklin Tower has one unit on its 11th through 16th floors; each lower floor contains two apartments. Residences range from 1,900-square-foot one-bedrooms and 2,600-square-foot two- to four-bedrooms, to 5,000-square-foot floor-through lofts with four exposures. Full-floor apartments have 23-by-33-foot living rooms that open onto 23-by-13-foot libraries with fireplaces and four bedrooms. Maid's quarters have a separate entrance.

Interiors boast 10-foot ceilings with recessed lighting, oversized banks of thermal pane windows, double and quadruple exposures and good city or river views. Stainless steel kitchens feature imported cabinetry and are outfitted with center islands topped in polished stone. Bathrooms have Waterworks fixtures and oversized glass steam showers and deep soaking tubs. Residences also have washers and dryers.

Amenities include a 24-hour doorman, concierge service, a rooftop deck with expansive views and a fitness center. It is also close to public transportation, restaurants and the Hudson River, which has running and biking paths.

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.

400 Park Avenue South is a mixed rental and condo building in NoMad with a dramatic, crystalline design that earned the building a spot on CityRealty’s Top 10 NYC Buildings of the Decade list. Architect Christian de Portzamparc’s 40-story tower soars with jagged glass shards that are equally appealing at the exterior and inside, where they create unique apartment layouts with sheer walls of floor-to-ceiling glass. The building features 269 rental apartments and 81 condos, which come with white oak floors, open living spaces, kitchens with glass-faced Pedini cabinetry and quartzite countertops, and bathrooms with marble vanities and heated limestone floors.

The building, LEED-certified for its environmentally-friendly features, comes with a lounge, a screening room, a golf simulator, resident storage, a landscaped 27th floor terrace, and a fitness suite with a gym, swimming pool, steam room, a yoga room, and a spinning studio. The ground level integrates an entrance to the 28th Street station of the 4 and 6 trains, and Madison Square Park sits a block away.
