Puerto Rican rap sensation Bad Bunny and the West Chelsea condo, Jardim
Earlier this week, The New York Post and 6sqft reported that superstar Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny is renting at one of West Chelsea’s most unique and impenetrable-appearing condo buildings, Jardim. The musician has moved into a penthouse at the mid-block complex located between West 27th and 28th Streets steps from the High Line and adjacent to Zaha Hadid's 520 West 28th Street (formerly home to Ariana Grande).
The penthouse condo unit was first publically listed in December last year for $19 million and has since been reduced to $18.5M. In August, The 4-bed/4.5-bath unit was concurrently listed for rent at $150,000 per month.
In this article:
Designed by renowned Brazilian architect Isay Weinfeld, the apartment seamlessly combines indoor and outdoor living. Its sliding glass curtain wall windows open to almost 4,600 square feet of private outdoor space spread across four terraces, one of which features an outdoor pool. The building is distinctive for its monolithic base, which is pierced by a striking private driveway leading to a glass-encased lobby that overlooks a lush, central garden.
After drop-off, residents of Jardim can send their cars to a subterranean garage via an automated parking system.
What's old is new again - porte-cocheres, traditionally associated with prewar buildings, have become a key amenity in new luxury buildings (The Belnord port cochere; Douglas Elliman)
Naturally, the privacy offered by porte-cochere entrances has made them exceptionally popular among celebrities, with many high-profile individuals gravitating toward buildings such as 443 Greenwich, 15 Central Park West, and 220 Central Park South. The phrase "porte-cochere" comes from the French phrase "carriage porch," and throughout New York, several of the buildings that have these covered entrances or driveways date back to a prewar era when carriages were the main means of conveyance. Cars have long since displaced horses as the dominant means of conveyance, but port-cocheres have become a key feature in New York’s luxury buildings.
The prevalence of the port-cochere, a decidedly car-oriented amenity, has left some urbanites ambivalent.The New York Times noted that port-cocheres take up more space than the average apartment, suggesting that the space and resources used for these entrances and parking facilities could be better allocated to produce more housing. While much of Manhattan does not impose mandatory minimum parking requirements for new developments, Mayor Eric Adams, along with the Department of City Planning, is advocating for city-wide reforms to eliminate these minimum parking requirements, which will allow developers to shift their resources toward building more housing.
At the same time, the new initiatives and the shortage of side-street parking have put parking and drop-off access at a premium and made porte-cocheres an in-demand amenity. Port-cochere buildings typically have on-site parking garages, which gives residents one less thing to worry about. Celebrities and other high-profile individuals appreciate the privacy port-cocheres have to offer, and all types of residents appreciate being able to pull right up and unload their luggage, shopping bags, or other cumbersome items at the entrance with the help of the building’s staff. And even those who don’t own cars appreciate the safety and shelter of a port-cochere, especially during inclement weather. Below, we take a look at the most beautiful port-cocheres in New York City residential buildings and the availabilities inside.
