520 West 28th Street, 13

Pritzker award-winning Zaha Hadid was a once-in-a-generation architect famous for blending sweeping curvatures with practical features and layout. 520 West 28th Street was her third residential building, the only building she created in New York and her only residential project in the United States. The building is one of the most private and luxurious in Manhattan, with only 39 residences. The amenities include a private 75 foot salt water lap pool, the only private IMAX theatre in Manhattan, SandBox maker space with VR system, 3D printers, classes and more. Car access and parking is off-street and completely private. Four elevators, staff of twelve, full-time concierge and live-in superintendent cater to the few dozen residents of the building. The building is LEED certified, with quadruple-filtered air, filtered water, has its own generator and is pre-wired for both Spectrum and FiOS gigabit internet. The building includes a 5,000 square foot entertainment space with a terrace on the High Line, 3,000 square foot gym including Peloton, street-adjacent bike storage with dedicated entrance/exit and a Spa suite including waterfall shower, 10-person hot tub, cold plunge and massage beds. The common areas include Sonos-controlled music systems. For additional convenience, privacy, safety and security, all of the above amenities are accessible from ground floor and without accessing any of the elevators. There is a separately controlled service elevator for deliveries. Seeking these qualities, a number of famous people maintain residence here. Residence 13 is elegantly laid out, with both bedrooms in the western wing of the 1691 square foot, 2 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home. This is the only apartment on its floor, ensuring additional privacy and discretion. Upon entering the apartment, you encounter a dramatic and sun-flooded 32 × 21’ great room with sculptural windows that look out onto quiet 28th street. The open, vented kitchen was designed in collaboration with Zaha Hadid and Boffi and is outfitted with a sleek eat-in island, white marble countertops and a suite of Gaggenau appliances. The master suite includes a walk-in closet, linen closet and ensuite five-fixture bathroom, including oversized soaking tub. The second bedroom includes ample closet space and its own en-suite bathroom as well. There is white oak flooring throughout the apartment, 10’7” ceilings, laundromat-sized LG washer and vented dryer, a walk-in coat closet and a powder room for guests, discreetly adjacent to the living room.
