37 East 12th Street's penthouse (CORE) 37 East 12th Street's penthouse (CORE)
Some New Yorkers like the idea of living history by moving into a well-established residential building, but this isn't for everyone. Many of these long-standing buildings are located on the Upper East Side and Upper West Side, far from the hip downtown neighborhoods that have burst onto the radar over the past decade or so. In some cooperatives, even the smallest change to an apartment must be approved by the board before it can proceed. And while co-ops are starting to catch up, they are still nowhere near winning the amenity race that has taken hold in New York City condos and shows no sign of slowing down.

That is where a new crop of downtown residential buildings comes in. New construction lets the buyer move into a new home with a totally clean slate, allowing them to be the first to make their mark on it. The apartments are located in amenity-rich condominiums with more room for change, though the newness of the buildings and attention to detail make it highly doubtful anyone would look at these as a fixer upper. Moreover, none of the following penthouses is located above 23rd Street.
