Designed
by Gal Nauer and Costas Kondylis, The Link at 52nd Street
just west of Eighth Avenue offers a well-appointed world of
luxury living in one of the city’s hottest neighborhoods.
Given that the 44-story glass tower is located right at the
edge of the Clinton Preservation District (which has limited
building heights), you’ll get to enjoy out-of-this-world
views of Manhattan from all floor-to-ceiling windows. These
homes are exceptionally spacious, and brimming with extras,
such as Poggenpohl kitchens with bluestone countertops and
appliances from Sub-Zero and Bosch. Baths are done in water-glass
tiling. Various types of units are available: a lowrise section
of The Link contains duplex townhouses accessible from the
street, or you can choose from studios, 1 and 2BR apartments,
or 3BR penthouses - many with outdoor spaces. A state-of-the-art
fitness center and landscaped 2,500sf interior garden are
among the top-of-the-line amenities. Priced from $650,000
to $2.9 million.

BY
THE LIGHT OF THE SILVERY MOON
For
those seeking exclusivity, the 24-story Sutton 57 serves up
38 posh residences at 57th off Second Avenue. With no more
than three homes per floor - and full-floor units above the
ninth - these pads are nothing short of dazzling. Inside any
of the 1, 2 or 3BRs (including one duplex penthouse), it’s
obvious that no detail has been overlooked. You’ll find
luscious cabreuva hardwood floors throughout. Gourmet kitchens
are exquisitely designed - with Sub-Zero refrigerators cleverly
hidden behind custom panels to match the glass-fronted cabinetry,
black honed granite counters, and appliances from Dacor, Dornbracht,
Miele and Franke. Master baths are decked out in floor-to-ceiling
Calacatta Gold stone tiles with matching mosaic inlay, plus
roomy soaking tubs and glass-enclosed showers. There’s
round-the-clock concierge service and a fitness center. Extra
credit for the rooftop moon garden - it’s landscaped
with flowers that bloom after sundown to heighten your unwinding
pleasure. From $1.395 million.

LIVING
THE HIGH LIFE
Developed
by Sleepy Hudson, LLP, the glass-curtain High Line 519 features
11 loft-like floor-through homes (some with balconies), a garden
terrace duplex, and two fabulous penthouses with wood-burning
fireplaces and private terraces. This sleek building on West
23rd between 10th and 11th affords unobstructed vistas encompassing
the Hudson River, the Empire State Building and, of course,
the High Line (the famed railroad viaduct which is undergoing
transformation to an ultra-cool elevated park). Apartment interiors
have wide-plank dark wenge wood flooring, honed concrete ceilings
and beams (with ceiling heights over 10ft). Varenna kitchens
have quartzite counters, Miele appliances, and Sub-Zero refrigerators
and wine coolers. The pièce de résistance of these
homes is the glass-tiled master baths featuring custom L-shaped
macassar ebony storage benches, teakwood floors striated with
rubber (for non-slippage), slatted teak floors in glass showers,
and soaking tubs with million-dollar High Line views while bathing.
Priced from $1.75 million.

“There’s
unprecedented demand in the Manhattan market for new-construction
homes. New buildings are generating the same kind of excitement as
new fashion,” says Aby Rosen, president of RFR Holding. “As
with fashion, classic architecture may be deemed tasteful and respectable,
but it’s hardly exciting next to today’s building designs,
which are cutting-edge and made expressly for 21st century lifestyles.” |
