An upscale, 2016 condominium that resembles Flatiron’s prewar structures
Designed by design firm Morris Adjmi Architects, this 19-story condominium looks more like the surrounding prewars along 17th Street than its 2016 completion date might suggest. “It’s more of a boutique building, just over 50 units,” says Paul Karpowich, a real estate salesperson at Compass. “It’s not one of those giant 300-unit condos. It’s not super tall or overbearing like many of the glass-house facades. The building next to it is basically the same height, so it doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb.” Morris Adjmi Architects elected to cover the condo in long, handmade white bricks, a material that both honors and modernizes the historical masonry buildings throughout the Flatiron District. Plus, the building’s base, clad in bronzed metal panels, is a nod to the industrial heritage of neighboring Chelsea. The exterior may blend with the streetscape, but stepping inside, there’s no question that this is a modern-day development. Two-toned marble floors compose a custom geometric pattern, the walls feature picture molding, the sleek reception desk is covered in plaster, and custom seating is cleverly carved from the wall. Aesthetically, it’s very elegant, and the ambiance is equally nice. “They play music in the lobby, which is something you don’t really get in a lot of buildings,” Karpowich says. “It’s a great atmosphere and it just feels like a pleasure to be there. I could easily live in this building.”
A two-story entertainment space acts as the condo’s social epicenter
Past the lobby, residents will find a small yet whimsical children’s playroom, where a woodland themed mural covers every surface of the room. Next door, a well-equipped gym features leather-padded walls, as well as large mirrors, and large recessed lights that give the illusion of skylights. “The condo also has a whole recreation area on the second and third floors,” Karpowich says. “You enter on the third floor into a screening room with a giant couch. Then you go down a spiral staircase and there’s a billiard room with a kitchen, plus seating and a library.” The second-floor space connects to a large private terrace, where residents can grill and dine al fresco. In the basement, a private parking garage has 20 spaces for purchase. Availability is not guaranteed, but Karpowich explains that spots occasionally come up for sale and that owners sometimes sublet their spaces to other residents.
Floor-to-ceiling windows and open floor plans define these modern apartments
The architects selected a contrasting dark and light palette for the units, much like the exterior of the building. “They put black oak cabinetry and marble counters and backsplash in every kitchen,” Karpowich says. “The appliances are all Gaggenau, and they’re gas, which buyers really like.” For instance, buyers should note that moving forward, new Manhattan developments will not include gas stoves. The full size refrigerators have paneled fronts that match the smoky-hued cabinets, and in every peninsula, there’s an under-counter wine refrigerator. “People also really like the bathrooms, which are big and sleek. Primary baths have a tub and shower, plus dual vanities. And there’s a big walk-in-closet, which is great for Manhattan apartments.” In the unit that Karpowich is representing, a laundry room with built-in cabinets is an added bonus, though some residences simply have washer/dryer closets instead.
Given that this is a relatively new building from a respected design firm, prospective buyers can expect prices above the neighborhood’s standard. One-bedrooms typically sell between $1.42 million and $1.95 million, while two-bedrooms run from $2.45 million to just under $3 million. A three-bedroom apartment costs between $3.3 million and $4.6 million, and four-bedroom residences have sold for upwards of $16 million. In July 2024, the palatial, three-story penthouse, which includes a private rooftop pool, sold for $36 million.
Proximity to Union Square, plus access to surrounding neighborhoods
Residents benefit from a relatively peaceful atmosphere despite the major commercial hubs nearby. “This is on a quiet street, and there's not a lot of traffic going through like there is down on 14th Street,” Karpowich says. “People definitely appreciate that compared to some of the new condos that have gone up around 14th Street and Sixth Avenue.” Should residents wish to partake in the hubbub of the city, Union Square, with its year-round, four-times-a-week green market and dog run, is only two blocks east. “There’s a ton of good shopping and dining over there, plus all the trains. There are more options in Greenwich Village, a few blocks south, too.” From Union Square, residents can catch the L, N, R, Q, W, 4, 5 and 6 trains, plus the F and M lines and PATH trains are also available nearby. “You’re basically at the cusp of Union Square, Flatiron and Chelsea,” Karpowich says. “You’re very centered in the city, which is great.”
