To look at Naftali Group’s finished 234 East 23rd Street, it is easy to see why closings have been brisk since sales launched in 2016. The 20-story, 57-unit condominium is located in the heart of Gramercy, yet the design by Hill West was inspired by Soho warehouses. The brick was eroded and aged to make it look like it’s been part of the neighborhood for years and thus fit in with its surroundings, and metal fins rise to emphasize the building’s height and frame its large window openings. The interiors offer excellent privacy with five units per floor on lower levels and only two units per floor on higher floors.

The five-bedroom, 5.5-bath Sky Duplex is a paradigm of the building’s offerings. A private elevator leads to this 4,135-square-foot home where floor-to-ceiling windows look out on 360-degree views that include the Empire State Building and Chrysler Building. The grand living/dining area was made for entertaining, and two large north-facing terraces allow residents to take the party outside.
The master suite occupies the entire southeast corner and has exceptional light, a windowed walk-in closet, a landscaped, south-facing terrace, and not one but two en-suite baths: The first has an elegant shower surrounded by framed casement glazing, and the second has a deep soaking tub. A media area and guest suite with private bath round out the upper level. The lower level is home to three bedrooms, two full marble baths, a laundry room with Bosch washer/dryer, and a second full kitchen. Its listing price of $10.995 million, or $2,659 per square foot, puts it around 1.6 times the area average.

As impressive as the Sky Duplex is, the building’s other availability, #11C, is not to be overlooked. The three-bedroom, 2.5-bath home’s floor-to-ceiling windows offer sweeping skyline views. The open kitchen is equipped with professional-grade appliances. The master bedroom has a walk-in closet and en-suite bath with elegant rain shower, radiant heated floor, and custom vanity with double sinks. Additional features include custom California closets throughout and an in-unit Bosch washer/dryer. It is listed for $3.595 million, or $2,251 per square foot.

Amenities at 234 East 23rd Street were created by Rottet Studio and include a state-of-the-art fitness center, library curated by Penguin Random House with a pool table and garden, and a rooftop deck with outdoor kitchen. The building is surrounded by an excellent cultural, nightlife, and fitness scene almost right outside the door, and it is a short walk from the Gramercy dining scene.
