The
growing buzz about Element, a swank new 35-story condo at
55 West 59th Street, is well-deserved. This dramatic glass
tower glistens skyward and extends all the way through to
60th Street, making way for a majestic circular driveway,
a spectacular lobby, and grounds that are just as remarkable.
“The developers wanted to create a lifestyle all but
unheard of in Manhattan,” says Corcoran’s Shlomi
Reuveni, noting that a flurry of luxury development in the
area has given rise to a new neighborhood moniker: CCW - Columbus
Circle West.
The selection of layouts has something for everyone - 1 to
4BRs, some duplexes, townhouse-style residences with private
gardens, penthouses with decks. Element’s amenities
package is endless: wine valet service, massage and treatment
rooms, fitness center with 60ft lap pool, yoga, basketball
and racquetball facilities, loads of playthings for kids including
their own pool. The sweeping grounds include gardens, sunbathing
area and a “great lawn”. From the $700,000s.

Lofty
elegance defines Richard Meier’s celebrated 176 Perry

when you enter this opulent 4000sf aerie overlooking the Hudson
- a 3BR, 2.5bth beauty with sumptuously curved Venetian plaster
walls, French Provincial-inspired parquet flooring in the
living and dining rooms, and a Brazilian hardwood-floored
terrace offering striking views. A private corridor leads
to a spacious master suite with cedar closets, full dressing
room, and a blue glass-tiled master bath with steam shower
and poured concrete tub. The inviting eat-in kitchen has gleaming
zinc countertops, maple burl cabinets and a generous pantry.
The amenities in this West Village building can aptly be described
as delicious: in addition to the fitness center, concierge

a 176 resident, has opened his cozy Perry Street restaurant
on the ground level. $9.9 million.

"Never
mind what the papers are saying about the market cooling off - it’s
not true of the high end. There are six beautiful co-op deals out
there for $20 million and more,” says Kirk Henckels, director
of Stribling Private Brokerage. “The majority are on Park Avenue,
as well as Fifth - where there have also been several recent townhouse
transactions in this category.” |
