New York City Luxury Condos

The Fischer Mills Building at 393-397 Greenwich Street is a historic pre-war structure dating back to 1860, originally serving as a coffee, tea, and spice warehouse. Located in the Tribeca West Historic District, the building artfully combines three distinct historic buildings into a single residential condominium, converted under the direction of developer Arthur Fefferman with BKSK Architects' Harry Kendall.

The building's distinctive architectural character is preserved through its exposed structural elements, including cast-iron columns, enormous rough-hewn timber beams with hand-chiseled joinery, and graceful brick archways. These industrial elements are complemented by modern finishes such as maple flooring and Thermopane windows throughout the residences.

Comprising 35 units, the building offers homes ranging from 1,400 to 4,300 square feet, with 24 units featuring private outdoor spaces. Two notable townhouse-style apartments boast soaring 15-foot ceilings, private gardens, and direct street access. The residences feature high-end finishes including stone countertops, oversized French farm sinks in kitchens, and bathrooms with radiant heated stone floors and six-foot cast-iron tubs.

As a full-service condominium, the Fischer Mills Building provides residents with full-time door attendants, a live-in superintendent, bicycle storage, private storage facilities, and a shared roof deck. While the building lacks a garage, it benefits from its proximity to the Hudson River Greenway, Pier 25, and various transportation options in the heart of Tribeca.

Completed in 1987, this modern 28-story limestone-clad tower is a distinctive addition to the Upper East Side, offering a clean and contemporary aesthetic just one block from Central Park. Designed by Leibman Leibman Associates, P.C., the building stands out with its striking slanted roofline, reminiscent of the iconic Citicorp Center, angled toward Central Park to maximize views.

A hallmark of its design is the limestone façade, a thoughtful nod to pre-war elegance while embracing modern architectural sensibilities. Its unique features include several rare double-height units facing a charming sidestreet, which adds a sense of openness and sophistication uncommon in the neighborhood. These double-height "studio" spaces highlight the building's innovative approach to Upper East Side living.

Developed by Alvin Dworman, Aaron Waxman, Shepard Forest, and others, the tower offers generously sized windows, intrusion alarms, and TV security in all units, with select residences featuring whirlpool baths and bidets. At street level, the building provides excellent retail spaces and a welcoming sitting ledge at its base—an uncommon and practical feature in the area.

This condominium project is one of the most recent towers near Central Park on the Upper East Side, rivaled only by a similarly styled limestone tower a block and a half north on Madison Avenue. Its combination of contemporary design, premium location, and rare architectural details make it a highly desirable residence.

The 19-story limestone-clad condominium residence at 135 East 79th Street on the Upper East Side is known to be among the city’s best pre-war-style apartment buildings constructed in the post-war era. A pair of 22-foot-tall espaliered pear tree sculptures flank the arched entrance; antique ground floor window grilles were made by the firm that fabricated the gates for Buckingham Palace; the lobby floor is laid in patterned travertine slab stonework, while antique French gilded bronze chandeliers hang beneath a double-height vaulted ceiling. Within are 32 large 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-bedroom apartments, several with terraces, topped by a handful of dazzling penthouses. Amenities include a full-time doorman and concierge, a landscaped private garden courtyard, a fitness center with private training studio, a residents’ lounge with a catering kitchen and a club/game room overlooking the garden. Private wine cellars, bicycle storage and private storage are also available. The building’s location is classic Upper East Side, a couple of blocks from Central Park, Museum Mile and Madison Avenue shopping and restaurants like Cafe Boulud. Cult favorites like Soul Cycle, Candle 79 and H & H Bagels are steps away to sustain everyday life.

The Machinery Exchange was originally constructed as a horse stable for the nearby Police Building in 1915, and was converted to a seven-story, 11-unit condominium in 2007. Located at 136 Baxter Street, it is at the crossroads of Soho, Nolita and Chinatown. The building has a virtual doorman, a full-time resident manager, and deeded storage cages.

Constructed in 1992, 353 Central Park West is an elegant 20-story prewar-style condominium designed by Yorancioglu Architects and The Vilkas Group. This intimate building comprises 16 exclusive residences, each occupying an entire floor with private elevator landings. The homes feature spacious formal entry galleries, high ceilings, rosewood herringbone floors, wood-burning fireplaces, and modern conveniences such as central air conditioning and in-unit washer-dryers. Expansive floor-to-ceiling windows with wrought iron terraces offer stunning views of Central Park and the city skyline.

Residents enjoy white-glove amenities, including a 24-hour doorman and concierge, a state-of-the-art gym with a Peloton and Pilates reformer, a rooftop terrace with 360-degree views, a bike room, and private storage. Ideally located across from Central Park’s tennis courts and the Reservoir, 353 Central Park West is close to top schools, restaurants, and premier shopping, including Whole Foods.
