When looking at luxury apartments in New York, some buyers are under the impression that they have to choose between classic prewar co-ops and modern condominiums. However, thanks to thoughtful renovation work, it is possible to have the best of both worlds all over the city. The past week saw 885 new listings come on the market, and we have chosen the most striking below.
