From Great Listings As 142 Flatiron launches sales, learn more about apartments with private elevators

By CityRealty Staff Thursday, January 19, 2023

For all the amazing vistas and mind-boggling amenities New York's high-rises have to offer, getting on the elevator and making stops on several other floors on the way home has a way of taking the wind out of these particular sails. Add in the buttons hundreds of people have touched and small spaces without much room for social distancing at the height of the pandemic, and multi-family buildings’ elevators haven’t been the most desirable spots of late.

This problem is easily solved with the help of elevators that open directly at one's apartment. These elevators come equipped with security that only allows residents access to their specific apartments. This is most commonly seen in the form of a key-lock system, but some of the more tech-savvy buildings are incorporating key pads, magnetic controls, and even fingerprint or voice recognition capabilities. These are primarily found in luxury doorman buildings with doorman surveillance, and extras like secondary doors with bolt locks act as additional security measures.

142 Flatiron, #3 (Compass)

Apartments with key-locked elevators are generally found in boutique buildings with very few units per floor. The latest entrant is 142 Flatiron, a newly constructed, eight-story building at 142 West 19th Street. The seven condos comprise a penthouse unit, a townhouse unit, and five full-floor two-bedroom apartments, and all are reached via key-locked elevator. Residents arrive to loft-like interiors, high ceilings, open chef’s kitchens with Miele appliances, and luxurious primary suites with spa-like baths.

As of this writing, one of the two-bedroom units has been listed for $2,925,000. It is part of a selection of spacious apartments with key-locked elevator access that may be found below.
