400 Park Avenue South is a mixed rental and condo building in NoMad with a dramatic, crystalline design that earned the building a spot on CityRealty’s Top 10 NYC Buildings of the Decade list. Architect Christian de Portzamparc’s 40-story tower soars with jagged glass shards that are equally appealing at the exterior and inside, where they create unique apartment layouts with sheer walls of floor-to-ceiling glass. The building features 269 rental apartments and 81 condos, which come with white oak floors, open living spaces, kitchens with glass-faced Pedini cabinetry and quartzite countertops, and bathrooms with marble vanities and heated limestone floors.

The building, LEED-certified for its environmentally-friendly features, comes with a lounge, a screening room, a golf simulator, resident storage, a landscaped 27th floor terrace, and a fitness suite with a gym, swimming pool, steam room, a yoga room, and a spinning studio. The ground level integrates an entrance to the 28th Street station of the 4 and 6 trains, and Madison Square Park sits a block away.

The Baccarat Residences at 20 West 53rd Street stand as a pinnacle of luxury living in Midtown Manhattan, marrying exceptional architectural design with unparalleled service. Rising 50 stories above the city, this mixed-use tower houses 61 private residences atop 114 luxurious hotel rooms. Residents enter a private entrance and lobby but can enjoy the hotel’s five-star amenities, including the Spa de La Mer, a fitness center, an indoor pool, and world-class dining.

The tower’s location, directly across from the Museum of Modern Art and moments from Fifth Avenue, Central Park, and Rockefeller Center, provides easy access to premier shopping, dining, and cultural experiences in one of New York’s most prestigious neighborhoods. Many north-facing homes have glimpses of Central Park.

Architecturally, the Baccarat’s sleek and minimalist exterior by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill serves as a refined “jewel case” for the tower’s opulent interiors. Designed by Tony Ingrao, the interiors showcase a striking aesthetic, featuring dark wood paneling, rich marble accents, and an impressive Baccarat crystal wall behind the concierge desk that embodies the building’s commitment to elegance. The double-height lobby is framed by fluted marble columns, creating a sense of grandeur upon entry, while the tower itself is setback from its base.

Within the Baccarat Residences, amenities cater to every aspect of luxury living. A full-time doorman, concierge, and valet service ensure convenience, while private lounges, a curated courtyard, and outdoor entertainment spaces provide residents with exclusive retreats. The building also includes on-site parking and a bike room.

The design extends to the smallest details: smoked oak paneling lines the elevators, while the north and south façades incorporate sculpted grooves between floors for a sense of dimensionality. The building’s base is adorned with vertical mullions and canopies, giving the lower levels an airy, sophisticated feel that complements the warm tones of the Baccarat crystals. The side façades feature angled window surrounds, enhancing the tower’s visual texture and creating dynamic light and shadow play.

The Baccarat’s site has a rich history, previously occupied by the Donnell Library, a building known for its 1950 Spartan design by Aymar Embury II and Edgar I. Williams. The Donnell was sold in 2007, with plans for a luxury hotel connected to the nearby 21 Club; however, these plans fell through, eventually leading to the Baccarat’s development. Today, the Baccarat Residences stand amid other historic buildings and landmarks, such as St. Thomas Episcopal Church, the CBS Building, and the Jean Nouvel-designed 53 West 53red Street. 

The 60-story residential condominium tower at 56 Leonard Street in TriBeCa was designed by Herzog & de Meuron. The striking design of the 145-unit building involves each floor being different and rotated from the floors above and below. Each unit has a private balcony.
