New York City Luxury Condos

Designed by world-renowned starchitect Richard Meier, the 16-story 165 Charles Street overlooks the Hudson River and opened in 2005.

165 Charles Street offers two river-facing apartments per floor that feature large terraces. The 30 apartments and one penthouse were delivered fully finished, with everything from the floor plans to minor details designed by Meier himself. The floors are organized freely about an island kitchen unit. Floor-to-ceiling glass wraps each apartment and all units come with wide-plank Wenge wood floors, double-glazed windows and central air conditioning and heating.

An impressive array of residential amenities includes a top-of-the-line fitness center, a 50-foot infinity-edge pool in a double-height space, a screening room, a bike room, a garden off the lobby, and a private wine cellar. Its West Village location is within close proximity to the restaurants and shops in the neighborhood.

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.

Situated at the southeast corner of Broadway and West 76th Street, the Laureate at 2150 Broadway is located on the Upper West Side and opened in 2010.

Residents have access to a 24-hour doorman and concierge, a full-service garage, a children’s playroom and a fitness center. Public transportation is located nearby, as are many restaurants and shops.

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.

Deep in the Far West Village, the 15-story, 91-unit full-service condominium at 150 Charles Street overlooks the Hudson River. Interiors by Alan Wanzenberg feature hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, loft-style windows, beautiful proportions, abundant closet space, and top-of-the-line kitchens.

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.
