Hell's Kitchen has come a long way from the gang activity, tough industries, and tenements of yesteryear. After artists began to migrate to the neighborhood, the area enjoyed a renaissance that included a residential building boom. The latest addition can be found at 422 West 49th Street, a new seven-story boutique condominium by Mortar ARC + DEV that has risen on an empty lot.
Of the eight units inside, three have just been listed. A studio is on the market for $495K; between its small square footage and kitchenette, this might be best suited for a pied-a-terre. At the other end of the scale, a pair of full-floor three-bedroom units are listed for $2.5 million and $2.725 million. They are both reached by key-locked elevator and feature private balconies. The building is also said to offer duplex one-bedrooms, but none of these are on the market yet.

A part-time superintendent is on staff, and amenities include bike room, package room, private storage units, and virtual doorman with Aiphone intercom system. Additionally, permits filed in 2018 call for a common roof terrace. Occupancy is expected for spring 2021.
422 West 49th Street is well situated near Times Square, the Theater District, Hell's Kitchen dining and nightlife, Hudson Yards, Central Park, and several subway lines. It is also located in a part of Midtown that has seen abundant new development in recent years. The building is up the street from Bloom on Forty Fifth, home of a Target and apartments starting at $778K. In the opposite direction, closings have commenced on full-floor condos at 424 West 52nd Street, and availabilities at NINE52 range from a studio for $850K to a three-bedroom duplex penthouse with private balcony for $2.995 million. School-to-condo conversion Inkwell was an early entrant, and a three-bedroom home is listed for $2.998 million. And just down the street, another boutique condominium is planned for 410 West 49th Street.
