Just as the name NoMad (north of Madison Square Park) is the latest iteration to describe the neighborhood, The Noma takes its cues from different eras. FXCollaborative architect Daniel Kaplan described its Neo-Bauhaus design to the New York Times in 2016, explaining it "is betwixt and between" the older garment buildings that populate the heart of NoMad along Broadway, and the glassier high-rises that have cropped up along the Avenue of the Americas north of 23rd Street since the 1990s. According to the Times, Kaplan added how “he took a best-of-both-worlds approach, giving the building lots of windows, as in contemporary condominiums, but with extra segments, like those found in nearby factories.” As such, the gray brick-and-glass facade, developed by Alchemy Properties and finished in 2018, melds into the neighborhood as though it’s always been there.
Mostly one- and two-bedrooms featuring natural materials and statement windows
From the outside, the 24-story tower doesn’t exactly look like a boutique building, yet it’s home to just 55 one- and two-bedroom units that seem geared to the busy professional. Interiors exemplify industrial vibes with clean lines, modern features and neutral, natural materials wherever possible. For example, open chef’s kitchens feature custom wood cabinets in white eggshell that are complemented by white marble backsplashes and gray quartz counters. Miele appliances and Marvel wine coolers are standard. Marble reappears in bathrooms, from the walls to the soaking tubs, rounded out by heated mosaic floors, Toto toilets and gunmetal fixtures from Kallista. White oak floors occupy the rest of the floorplan, bathed in light flooding in from multi-paned windows framed in black, which avoids the typical glass box aesthetic. Apartments with east-facing exposures prominently feature the Empire State Building, while Noma’s midtown location also allows views of the Flatiron Building and even One World Trade Center. (Although the rooms in some units have a prime view of billboards.) Some residences also contain balconies that make the most of skyline views. While that may be a select perk, all of the units at least include Bosch washers and dryers and high ceilings. One-bedrooms offer between 679 and 1,000 square feet, with two-bedrooms ranging from 1,226 to 1,330 square feet. Recent units for sale include a two-bedroom for $1.7 million and a 2,190-square-foot penthouse with three bedrooms priced at almost $6.5 million; it's been on the market for almost two years. Besides space, the handful of penthouses offer a gas fireplace, private elevator and wraparound terrace.
Cohesive fitness center, library and expansive terrace with outdoor grill
As a full-service condo, round-the-clock staff welcomes residents into the dramatic lobby, where its 15-foot reclaimed wood ceiling, contemporary furnishings and mod gunmetal chandelier set the building’s industrial tone. The amenities don’t disappoint either, starting with a 1,700-square-foot plant-heavy terrace above the lobby that’s equipped with ample seating and a stainless-steel grill in its outdoor kitchen. The small library off of the terrace is well stocked with a floor-to-ceiling bookcase, kitchenette, television and inviting leather sofa and chairs. The cohesive vibe continues next door in the fitness center, a large, airy space with the same black-framed windows as in units, and another reclaimed wood ceiling. The latest gear includes Peloton bikes, weights and fitness equipment, plus, not seen every day, a vintage punching bag.
Epicenter for shopping, dining and entertainment
Before it was called NoMad, this part of town contained a large percentage of wholesale shops, especially jewelry, and a good number can still be found, especially along Broadway and the side streets. But this busy midtown location appeals to those who want multiples of everything within a short walk, whether that involves transportation, shopping or trendy bars and restaurants. While this section lacks a residential feel and draws hordes of tourists to the nearby Empire State Building, it’s tough to beat the convenience, like strolling a few blocks to the flagship Macy’s in Herald Square, an 11-floor behemoth that becomes the end point for the Thanksgiving Day Parade every year. Chelsea is a short walk west and a general shopping mecca for chains, as is 34th Street. Heading south from Noma, the gorgeous Rizzoli Bookstore is an excellent non-chain option. It’s close to Madison Square Park, home to the city’s first Shake Shack and ever-rotating art installations. Italian food hall Eataly is just off of the park, while Koreatown, better known as K-town, is closer to Noma and packed with restaurants, beauty stores and karaoke joints. Other shoutouts include destination restaurant Eleven Madison Park for its vegan, Michelin-starred menu and swanky Thyme Bar, an underground lounge that once contained a real 1930s speakeasy. And fans of major concerts or sports have Madison Square Garden less than a 10-minute walk away. Food shopping isn’t lacking either, with Fairway, Whole Foods and H-Mart, a popular chain for Asian goods, all within a short walk.
Short walk from Penn Station, the busiest rail station in the nation
Those needing access to New Jersey and Long Island, in addition to subways, will find this location hard to beat between Herald Square and Penn Station. The closest subway options are a few blocks north with the B, D, F, M and N, Q, R, W trains at Herald Square, which all connect to the Herald Square PATH train for a fast ride to Hoboken or Jersey City. Penn Station is a block west for the 1, 2, 3 and A, C, E trains, plus trains to the New Jersey suburbs and Long Island. Across the way is Moynihan Train Hall, a new dedicated station for the Long Island Rail Road that conjures the grandeur of the original Penn Station, and also provides a much nicer commuter experience. Not least, buses can be found going up and down the avenues and crosstown along 34th Street.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
