VITA is a newly completed (2025) 12-story condominium in Manhattan comprising 35 residences across one- to four-bedroom layouts. Designed by INC Architecture & Design, the building emphasizes high-performance construction: a Passive House-grade, airtight envelope, triple-glazed oversized windows, VRF heat-recovery systems, CO2-based air-source water heaters, and energy-recovery ventilators for continuous filtered fresh air. Interiors feature wide-plank European oak floors, premium kitchens with milk oak cabinetry, Fusion Blue quartzite counters, and fully integrated Gaggenau appliances. Bathrooms are finished with honed Grigio Trambiserra marble, Bardiglio Versilia mosaic floors with radiant heating, oak tambour vanities, thermostatic memory showers, and TOTO Neorest fixtures. Many homes include walk-in closets, private balconies or terraces (including private outdoor spaces over and under 60 sq ft), and in-unit washer/dryers with smart-home controls (LATCH keyless entry, Brilliant system, Hunter Douglas automated shades). Common areas are staffed 24/7 with double-height lobbies and Amazon Hub lockers; shared amenities connect through an internal passage and include a residents’ lounge with an entertaining kitchen, two Technogym-equipped fitness centers, a spa suite with steam and sauna, a golf simulator, and two landscaped rooftop sky parks with grills and dining. Pet and parking policies are subject to the offering plan. Located on Manhattan’s west side near Hudson Yards, the High Line, transit hubs and neighborhood retail, VITA positions sustainable, tech-forward residences within a dense urban context.
