New York City Luxury Condos

The Plaza Hotel and Residences, located at 768 Fifth Avenue and 1 Central Park South, is an iconic blend of luxury hospitality and upscale living. Designed in French Renaissance chateau style by Henry Janeway Hardenbergh in 1907, The Plaza offers an unmatched New York experience, steps from Central Park, Pulitzer Fountain, and renowned landmarks like Carnegie Hall, MoMA, and the Wollman Rink.

The building’s distinctive exterior features a white marble base, turreted corners, and a mansard roof adorned with finials and flagpoles, adding to its Old World charm. The Plaza’s interior includes 282 hotel rooms and 181 private residences, with the latter housed in the building's north and east wings. The residences feature high ceilings, period moldings, walnut-bordered herringbone parquet floors, and kitchens equipped with stone countertops and mosaic marble backsplashes. Many units boast views of Central Park, Fifth Avenue, and the surrounding cityscape, with some offering terraces and unique turreted windows.

Residents enjoy exclusive access to hotel amenities, including the famed Palm Court restaurant, Caudalie Vinotherapie Spa, Warren-Tricomi Salon, and a state-of-the-art La Palestra fitness center. A dedicated staff provides round-the-clock concierge, doorman, butler, and nanny services, along with housekeeping, turn-down service, and limousine arrangements. Additionally, residents have access to a private European-style garden with cascading water features, a rooftop deck, and pet-friendly policies.

Situated on the doorstep of Central Park, The Plaza is encircled by premier shopping and dining options and is conveniently close to several subway lines, making it easily accessible from all parts of Manhattan. The lively surroundings of the Meatpacking District, Lincoln Center, and high-end boutiques along Fifth Avenue cater to a cosmopolitan lifestyle.

Throughout its history, The Plaza has hosted distinguished guests and memorable events, such as Truman Capote's Black-and-White Ball. Celebrities and public figures have frequented the Oak Bar, a setting famously depicted in "North by Northwest." The building was partially converted to condominiums in 2008 under El Ad Properties, preserving its landmarked exterior and spectacular interiors. Managed by Fairmont Hotels and Resorts, the hotel offers a mix of private residences, transient hotel rooms, and 152 "hotel-condos" that generate income for owners through a revenue-sharing program.

The Plaza has long been celebrated in popular culture, from Neil Simon's “Plaza Suite” to films like "Scent of a Woman" and "Home Alone 2." Its Persian Room nightclub attracted icons like Peggy Lee and Liza Minnelli, and its storied ambiance continues to define New York glamour.

The Olcott, located at 27 West 72nd Street, is a distinguished 16-story prewar condominium built in 1925 and designed by architect George Pelham. This elegant limestone and brick building extends through the block to West 73rd Street and sits on the same coveted block as the famous Dakota, just half a block from Central Park and Strawberry Fields. Originally constructed with 227 units that included transient and professional accommodations, the building was converted to condominiums in 2005 by Brack Capital and Stellar Management, creating 162 luxury residences.

The building's prewar grandeur is evident in its restored lobby featuring marble columns and ornate brass elevators with interiors of mahogany, marble, mother-of-pearl and brass. The Olcott has attracted notable residents over the years, including Oscar winner Martin Balsam and eccentric entertainer Tiny Tim, and historically served as temporary housing for Lincoln Center and Broadway performers. The building maintains its artistic heritage while offering modern white-glove service with 24-hour doorman, concierge, and on-site management.

Apartments at The Olcott blend prewar character with contemporary luxury, featuring high beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, and chef's kitchens equipped with Sub-Zero refrigerators, Miele dishwashers, and custom Italian cabinetry. Bathrooms showcase Waterworks fixtures, marble finishes, and radiant floor heating. The building offers diverse layouts from studios to 4-bedroom duplexes with private terraces, many with Central Park views. Residents enjoy a comprehensive amenity package including a fitness center, children's playroom, residents' lounge, cold storage, bicycle storage, and laundry facilities on every floor, making it one of the Upper West Side's most desirable full-service condominiums.

Built in 1931 by the renowned Bing & Bing developers and designed by Emory Roth, 299 West 12th Street stands as one of the few prewar condominiums in the West Village. This 17-story brown brick building houses 182 units and was converted to condominiums in 1986. The building features a distinctive Tuscan-style water tank enclosure and boasts elegant proportions that make it one of the most handsome large prewar apartment buildings in the neighborhood.

Located directly across from Abingdon Square Park, which hosts a weekend farmers market, the building offers residents prime West Village living with easy access to Hudson River Park, the High Line, and the Whitney Museum. The full-service condominium provides 24-hour doorman service, a live-in resident manager, bike storage, laundry facilities, and private storage. The building is both pet and pied-a-terre friendly.

Apartments throughout the building showcase classic prewar details including hardwood floors, high beamed ceilings, and wood-burning fireplaces. Many units feature sunken living rooms and windowed kitchens and bathrooms. Studios are particularly notable for their Murphy bed configurations and generous closet space, while the third floor offers distinctive 10-foot ceilings. The building also houses a rare 18th-floor penthouse completely surrounded by private terraces with panoramic views from New York Harbor to the Empire State Building.

The building has attracted notable residents including Jennifer Aniston. With its combination of prewar charm, full-service amenities, and prime West Village location, 299 West 12th Street represents one of the most coveted residential addresses in downtown Manhattan.

The Park Laurel at 15 West 63rd Street is a distinctive 41-story condominium tower completed in 2000, designed by Beyer Blinder Belle and Costas Kondylis for developers Vornado Realty Trust and David Edelstein. The building's most striking feature is its large, stepped pyramidal top that makes it highly visible from Central Park. Built above and adjacent to the historic West Side YMCA, the tower preserves the landmark Romanesque-style façade of the former McBurney School while incorporating it into the modern structure. The light red brick was specifically chosen to harmonize with the neighboring YMCA building, creating an architecturally cohesive streetscape.

The building houses 56 luxury condominium apartments spanning floors 14 through 40, with nearly all units offering sweeping Central Park views. Apartments range from two to four bedrooms, with sizes varying dramatically from 1,309 square feet to over 7,000 square feet for full-floor units. Notable residences include a Charles Gwathmey-designed penthouse duplex with 360-degree views and 20-foot ceilings, and several full-floor apartments featuring expansive terraces overlooking Central Park. Common luxury finishes throughout the building include Calacatta Gold marble bathrooms, premium appliances from Sub-Zero, Miele, and Thermador, herringbone hardwood floors, and individual climate controls.

The development faced significant controversy during its 15-year planning process, with notable opponents including Madonna and other prominent residents who argued the tower would overwhelm the neighborhood. The project ultimately moved forward using inclusionary housing zoning, which allowed additional density in exchange for preserving affordable housing units. This air-rights development not only created the luxury tower but also expanded the historic YMCA facilities.

The Park Laurel offers white-glove service with 24-hour doorman and concierge, a fitness center, children's playroom, and bicycle storage. Its prime location provides immediate access to Central Park, Lincoln Center, and Columbus Circle, making it one of Manhattan's most coveted addresses for those seeking luxury living with unparalleled park views and cultural amenities.

129 Lafayette Street was originally built as a printing facility in 1911 and converted to a luxury loft condominium in 2004. The limestone-clad building is marked by a grand lobby with 24-hour doorman service, private on-site storage, and a 2,000-square-foot landscaped roof deck with panoramic views. It is located at Lafayette Street and Howard Street near Soho, Chinatown, Nolita, the Bowery, and Tribeca. Pets are allowed.

Thomas O'Hara with façade work by French born architect Lucien Lagrange, the building contains just 22 residences ranging from one bedroom units to a duplex penthouse. The architecture features a three story rusticated limestone base, setbacks at the 12th and 13th floors, and a mansard roof, with an arched two story entrance leading to a double-height lobby with a curved staircase and chandelier. The building's name was chosen for its French character after Toll Brothers rejected the previous developer's plan to call it Olivia.

Apartments feature enclosed kitchens with Calacatta marble countertops, Gaggenau appliances, and Sub-Zero refrigerators, along with eat in areas in many units. Bathrooms are outfitted with Waterworks fixtures and Italian Calacatta and Arctic gray marble. Ceilings range from 9.6 to 11 feet, with the penthouses enjoying the highest ceiling heights.

In addition to The Century’s compelling Art Deco architecture, it is distinctive for its prime Central Park location. The shops, restaurants, Whole Foods, and transportation of Columbus Circle are a few blocks away, as is the culture and entertainment found in Lincoln Center and the surrounding area. Local schools, playgrounds and opportunities for family activities and outings are also some of the best in the city.

The Centurion, located at 33 West 56th Street just off Fifth Avenue, stands as I.M. Pei's only ground-up residential condominium project in New York City. Completed in 2009, this 17-story building was designed by the Pritzker Prize-winning architect and his son Sandi Pei, representing a collaboration between the legendary designer behind the Louvre Pyramid and the Bank of China Tower. The building is clad in Chamesson limestone from France – the same material used at the Four Seasons Hotel – and features distinctive cascading terraces and five dramatic "lanterns," which are double-height windows with 17-foot ceilings that extend above the building's tapered setbacks.

The building's 48 condominium units showcase remarkable variety, with ceiling heights ranging from 10 to 17 feet and layouts spanning one to four bedrooms. Three penthouses crown the building, while 13 apartments feature private terraces.

Pei himself. The lobby features soft cream-colored Magny du Louvre limestone and blood Anigre wood finishes, creating a serene atmosphere that complements the building's sophisticated aesthetic.

Situated in Manhattan's prestigious Plaza District, the Centurion occupies a site with notable history – it replaced several buildings including one that housed Club Napoleon, a famous speakeasy frequented by Mae West and George Raft. The location provides residents with immediate access to Central Park, Fifth Avenue luxury shopping including Tiffany and Bergdorf Goodman, the Museum of Modern Art, and world-class dining and theater options, making it one of the city's most coveted addresses.

The Four Seasons Private Residences at 30 Park Place, located where Tribeca meets the Financial District, enjoy the architecture of Robert A.M. Stern Architects and the amenities and services of the Four Seasons.

The Caledonia, a 24-story mixed-use development at 450 West 17th Street, opened in 2008 on the former site of the Chelsea Garden Center. Designed by Handel Architects with interiors by Clodagh, this Related Companies project uniquely combines 190 condominium apartments in the main tower with 288 rental units in an adjacent 8-story wing, including 58 permanently affordable units. While residents share an elegant lobby featuring Richard Serra-inspired design elements, cascading water features, and sandstone walls, separate elevator systems serve the condo and rental sections. The building's developers contributed $28 million to the High Line Park and positioned the property directly adjacent to the elevated park with direct access, while sitting across from the landmark Chelsea Market.

Apartments throughout the building showcase consistent high-end finishes, including bamboo plank flooring, floor-to-ceiling windows, and premium appliance packages featuring Sub-Zero refrigerators, Wolf cooktops, Viking ovens, and Miele dishwashers.
