420 West 42nd Street

This 41-story rental apartment building in New York City features pronounced and irregular banding, designed by Hugh Hardy to reflect the energy of 42nd Street. The building's distinctive patterning and use of light cream and purplish black colors have been both criticized and defended, with the architect aiming to create a structure with 'special character' in contrast to its surroundings. Currently, 1 apartment is for rent.

Broker & Resident Comments

This Hell's Kitchen high-rise offers "spacious" apartments with "great views" and "abundant natural light" in a "supremely convenient" location near multiple transit options. The "well-equipped" building features a "recently renovated gym," sundeck, and 24-hour doorman service, while the "competitive pricing" makes it a "good value" for Manhattan luxury rentals. While the "bustling" midtown location means "tourist crowds" and "street noise," residents praise the "easy access" to Hell's Kitchen's restaurant scene along 9th Avenue. The building delivers "basic luxury amenities" in a "transit-friendly" location, though some note "thin walls" and varying opinions on maintenance.
