152 Elizabeth Street is home to a true dream team: Developer Sumaida + Khurana is known for its work with Pritzker Prize-winners such as Tadao Ando, who is raising a concrete and glass jewel box condominium on this former site of a parking garage. 152 Elizabeth Street is Mr. Ando’s first building outside Asia, and the duplex penthouse has just sold for a cool $35 million.

The 5,603-square-foot, 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath penthouse’s interiors were designed by Gabellini Sheppard Associates and retain feelings of tranquility and serenity even at the gateway to three of downtown Manhattan's hottest, most bustling neighborhoods (Nolita, Soho, and the Lower East Side). Specially treated floor-to-ceiling windows let in stunning city views without the accompanying noise. In the seamless kitchen, a sliding countertop island was designed to hide the sink and prep area from view. Additional features include a custom stone, glass, and satin stainless steel spiral staircase and a fireplace framed by Pietra Cardosa stone and artisan plaster.
As remarkable as the interiors are, the three levels of outdoor space (spanning an additional 3,240 square feet) threaten to outshine them. A private terrace on the first floor has one of Mr. Ando’s signature water walls. The second-floor master suite opens to a balcony. Most impressively, the third-floor rooftop has landscaped planters, a granite stone fireplace, fully equipped kitchen, soaking tub, reflecting pool, and outdoor shower for the ultimate entertainment and relaxation space.
