Over a decade after the first permits were filed for a new ten-story building to rise at 20 West 15th Street, a skinny development site a stone's throw from Union Square, a recent site visit saw construction underway. As the site is up the street from the boundaries of the Ladies Mile Historic District, it can take shape without the approval of the Landmarks Preservation Commission ("Landmarks").
Early plans for the site called for a 30-room boutique hotel to be designed by Queens-based firm Raymond Chan Architects, featuring a glassy facade with pink accents. But in March 2025, public records show that developer Peak Capital bought the site from NMR Realty for $5.185 million. A few months later, they filed an offering plan in mid-July 2025.
In this article:
The entirely residential project will feature full-floor apartments with a duplex penthouse on the uppermost levels. The offering plan does not list a sellout price or any details on the apartments and amenities. However, direct elevator access is all but guaranteed, and the future residents are poised to enjoy incredible light and privacy. Another perk is the building's central location. Union Square's greenmarket and transportation hub are located less than one block away, and the site is close to acclaimed restaurants, popular retail, and gourmet supermarkets.
It is also in an increasingly robust residential area. The site is located across the street from 35XV and down the block from The Oculus. These are somewhat older condominiums, but new ones have been taking shape in recent years. The Landmarks-approved Louie complex is a few blocks away; and 5 West 13th Street, the future tallest building in the Village, is taking shape a short distance in the opposite direction.
20 West 15th Street's sales launch is estimated for next year, and completion is estimated for early 2027. As we wait, we look at other full-floor units in coveted New York City neighborhoods.
