529 W 42Nd St

The Armory is a nine-story prewar cooperative in Hell's Kitchen, New York, originally constructed in 1929 and converted to residential use mid-20th century. The 45-unit building contains a mix of studios, one-, two- and three-bedroom layouts, many arranged as loft or duplex plans that preserve industrial-scale volumes and generous ceiling heights. Architecturally the property retains prewar character — oversized multi-pane windows, exposed beams in some units, and masonry façade details — while interior renovations have introduced modern finishes in common areas, including a recently updated marble lobby. Units frequently feature open chef’s kitchens with islands, built-in storage, high ceilings, walk-in closets, marble counters, recessed lighting, and spa-like baths; several apartments include private terraces, roof decks, fireplaces, and legal live/work configurations. Building services and shared amenities are full-service in scope: 24/7 doorman and live-in superintendent, laundry rooms on every floor, bike room, resident storage, and an elevated roof deck with views. Operationally the co-op board permits subletting, pied-à-terres, co-purchases and pets with approval; guarantors and gifting are also considered. Located on West 42nd Street, the property sits between Hudson Yards, the Theater District and the Hudson River Park, offering direct access to transit, riverside recreation, and a dense restaurant and cultural scene.
