16 West 40th Street, 21-D

With the Empire State Building as its backdrop and Bryant Park just across the street, Residence 21D offers a distinctly New York setting. This approximately 1,067-square-foot corner one-bedroom occupies the 21st floor of The Bryant, designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect David Chipperfield.

Light and proportion define the home. Southern and eastern exposures, twelve floor-to-ceiling windows, and 9-foot-6-inch ceilings give the interiors an exceptional sense of openness. The corner living and dining room provides ample space for a comfortable seating arrangement and a dedicated dining area, while Vitrocsa sliding glass doors at the Juliet balconies invite fresh air into the residence.

A carefully composed palette of oak, marble, and terrazzo gives the apartment its architectural character. Radiant-heated oak herringbone floors bring warmth underfoot, with terrazzo detailing outlining the windows and bordering the floors. Custom millwork designed for The Bryant integrates storage and conceals mechanical equipment, preserving the clean lines of the interior.

The Empire State Building remains in view from the south-facing bedroom, which includes generous custom closet storage. Its en-suite bathroom combines full-height Statuarietto marble walls, terrazzo flooring, and a marble-topped vanity. A glass-enclosed wet room accommodates both a rain shower and a deep soaking tub.

The separate, windowed kitchen keeps cooking comfortably apart from the main living space. White lacquer cabinetry is paired with Calacatta Gold marble countertops and backsplash, integra.ted Gaggenau appliances, and a fully vented range hood. An in-unit washer and dryer, central air conditioning, and motorized window shades add everyday convenience.

At 16 West 40th Street, The Bryant welcomes residents through a private residential lobby attended 24 hours a day. Amenities include a lobby lounge and a fitness center with sauna, along with access to the sixth-floor club lounge, where a fireplace, bar, and terrace overlooking Bryant Park provide additional space to unwind.

The neighborhood extends the experience beyond the apartment: Bryant Park for a morning stroll, Fifth Avenue for shopping, and the nearby New York Public Library and Theater District for an afternoon or evening out. With restaurants and major transportation connections close by, 21D combines the comfort of a generously sized home with the convenience of a central Manhattan address.
