551 W 21St St

Designed by Foster + Partners and completed in 2015, this 19-story condominium on West 21st Street comprises 44 residences ranging from one- to seven-bedroom layouts. The architecture is crisp and geometric, employing precast concrete and metal detailing that frames floor-to-ceiling glazing and maximizes Hudson River and city sightlines. Interiors emphasize high ceilings, column-free plans and quality millwork: oak herringbone floors, bespoke cabinetry, generous foyers with cove lighting, and integrated built-ins are recurring elements. Select apartments include private elevator vestibules, expansive grand rooms, libraries or formal dining spaces, and luxury kitchens by Molteni and other premium manufacturers. Bathrooms feature stone floors, soaking tubs, double vanities and radiant heating in principal suites. Building amenities are full-service and residentially focused: a dramatic double-height lobby with a grand chandelier, a gated motor court with a substantial planted green wall, 24/7 attended lobby and concierge, porter and valet, a state-of-the-art fitness center with separate his-and-hers spa and yoga room, residents’ lounge, children’s playroom, bicycle storage, on-site parking and a live-in superintendent. Additional conveniences include dedicated service entrances, storage options and pre-wiring for advanced home-technology systems. Situated in West Chelsea near the High Line, Hudson River Park and cultural institutions, the building sits within a dense gallery, dining and waterfront recreational environment.
