New York City Luxury Condos

200 Eleventh Avenue is best known for a singular amenity: residents do not park their cars in a garage, but rather, within their units. It opened in 2010 just south of West 24th Street.

The 19-story condominium contains 16 expansive residences that boast views of the Hudson River and the skyline. It has simplexes with terraces, duplexes and penthouses ranging in size from 1,300 to 3,500 square feet. Minimum ceiling heights of 11 feet – along with some double-height ceilings measuring between 16 and 24 feet – enhance open layouts.

Fourteen of the apartments have access to the innovative parking system. Amenities also include a full-time attended lobby, a fitness center with a terrace and central air conditioning. The buidling is located a block from the Hudson River and close to the Chelsea Piers entertainment complex, as well as many restaurants, boutiques and art galleries.

Opened in 2008, the Caledonia is located in Chelsea at 450 West 17^th Street, the former site of the Chelsea Garden Center.

Residents in the Caledonia - which also contain rental units - share a common lobby, although separate elevators whisk them to their respective wings of the development. Apartments have bamboo plank flooring, kitchens with modern, premium appliances and tiled bathrooms with custom fixtures; there are also more than 180 floor plans available.

Amenities include an Equinox fitness center with a kid’s club, a sundeck, a pet space, a children’s playroom, bicycle storage, a garage, a 24-hour doorman, concierge service and an entertainment lounge. 450 West 17th Street is also located near the High Line park, shops in the Meatpacking District and art galleries and restaurants in Chelsea and the West Village.

The Fairchild at 55 Vestry Street was constructed in 2009 but maintains the charm and character that define TriBeCa.

The pet-friendly Fairchild consists of 21 spacious loft apartments. Its developers ensured each of the residences was meticulously designed: all units feature walnut stained hardwood flooring and central air conditioning and heating, while many have 22-foot-high ceilings. Poggenpohl kitchens are equipped with top-of-the-line appliances and master bathrooms have quality fixtures and polished floors.

Amenities at the Fairchild include an attended lobby, concierge service, a refrigerated storeroom and private storage. Residents can also access all of the services the nearby Greenwich Hotel offers, including a fitness club, a spa and an indoor pool. 55 Vestry Street is close to the restaurants along Greenwich Street and the boutiques in SoHo, as well as public transportation.

456 West 19th Street is located in Chelsea between Ninth and Tenth Avenues and was designed by Cary Tamarkin. It is distinguished by its top half, which is set back and curved.

It is near the High Line, an elevated park that stretches along the Hudson River, and, after two years of construction, opened in 2010. 456 West 19th Street contains 22 duplex units that are light-filled and spacious, ranging from 1,100 to 3,000 square feet. Residences also feature large windows offering expansive views of the Manhattan skyline and Hudson River and kitchens and bathrooms equipped with modern appliances from Miele and Sub Zero and premium, Arne Jacobsen fixtures.

456 West 19th Street amenities include an attended lobby, central air conditioning, a roof deck and washer and dryer units. It is also located close to the neighborhood’s shops, restaurants and art galleries, as well as the Chelsea Piers entertainment complex.

The 31-floor Siena at 188 East 76^th Street is a smart and elegant high-rise in the Upper East Side that evokes the tower of a graceful baroque cathedral.

To tie it to its historic neighbors, the Siena has a four-story base clad in granite and cast stone that echoes the limestone and granite façades in the surrounding area. Its 125 apartments are filled with the sort of desirable features usually associated with pre-war construction, such as eat-in kitchens with windows, entrance foyers and nine-and-a-half-foot ceilings. Kitchens feature top of the line appliances and bathrooms are outfitted with marble; units also have washers and dryers. The layouts are large – more than half of the residences are two bedrooms or bigger – and because of the relative narrowness of the Siena, most floors have only two or three units, adding an element of privacy and enhancing each apartment’s exposure to the outside.

Amenities include concierge service, a fitness center and a children's playroom. 188 East 76th Street is also located close to Central Park and many boutiques and cafes.
