Pilates is a type of mind-body exercise developed by German physical trainer Joseph Pilates, after whom it was named. This form of low-impact workout has become increasingly popular over the last month among fitness beginners and gurus alike. And for residential apartment projects, which already include an onsite gym, it’s now essential to make space for a pilates studio alongside it as well...

The phrase "porte-cochere" comes from the French phrase "carriage porch," and throughout New York, several of the buildings that have these covered entrances or driveways date back to a prewar era when carriages were the main means of conveyance. Cars have long since displaced horses as the dominant means of conveyance, but port-cocheres have become a key feature in New York’s luxury buildings...

With elegant porte cocheres, landscaped motor courts and dedicated parking spaces for residents, these buildings make it easy to store your car and make a quick getaway for your weekend plans....

Gone are the days of basement-level pools and gyms being enough to wow today's luxury condo buyers. Developers and architects behind some of NYC's top new developments are instead raising the bar and taking their suite of club-like amenities above grade. In situating common spaces on ground level or on higher floors, they're able to maximize coveted city or courtyard-facing views and natural light (especially this time of year!); ultimately creating a more pleasant lifestyle offering and adding value for residents....

Design inspiration can be found all over New York City thanks to the city's landmarked buildings and overall rich architectural history - not to mention its vibrant parks and green spaces. Now more than ever, architectural firms are looking at a building's environment to inspire its facade and overall exterior as a way of storytelling. With design steeped in New York City history, the new buildings listed below tell their own unique story of New York City's past and present...

Real estate developers and architects behind some of NYC’s top new developments have been pushing the envelope to offer residents cutting-edge, lifestyle-focused, and above-grade amenities.

Steroids, a rocket ship or a magic beanstalk — whichever metaphor you choose to describe New York’s hot new development market, it just keeps on climbing. Sales of new development condos in the city just posted their strongest first quarter — and third-most-active quarter overall — since at least 2015, according to a new report from Marketproof.

It’s another week and another record for luxury residential real estate in Manhattan.

An Upper East Side Home with four terraces led Manhattan's luxury contracts into March.

It just keeps getting better for Manhattan’s luxury real estate market. The number of contracts signed for properties worth $4 million or more reached 41 last week, a new high for the year, according to data from Olshan Realty.

A townhouse in Manhattan is a covetable real estate purchase. These multi-story dwellings became synonymous with an elite lifestyle and developers today are elevating the best features of townhouses – expansive living areas and unparalleled privacy – and recreating them in the form of sky-high duplex penthouses. These penthouse-level homes offer a living experience that’s even more exclusive than in a townhouse with the added benefits of having panoramic skyline views and a suite of luxurious services and amenities.

These new duplex penthouse listings throughout Manhattan take townhouse living to the next level.

Real estate for sale featuring biophilic designs in residential developments and single-family homes is a well-documented trend (AD covered the movement in a recent story), but properties inspired solely by flowers are newer to the scene. Most recently, several new residential projects globally play up a flower theme....

Having already broken a Third Avenue sales record with the $27M deal for Penthouse A in November, 200 East 83rd continues to be one of the top-selling residential buildings in Upper East Side history. Now the tower's most exclusive residence, Penthouse C, which recently hit the market asking $32.5M, presents a unique opportunity: a home atop the Upper East Side's very own paparazzi-proof building....

For more than a century, people have yearned to call Manhattan’s tony Upper East Side home. To riff on John Updike’s famous quote, the true Upper East Sider secretly believes that people living anywhere else have to be, in some sense, kidding. The exclusive residential neighborhood has recently undergone a renaissance in building development and has seen a burst of new restaurants and upscale shopping boutiques. This is in no small part thanks to the long-anticipated opening of the Second Avenue Subway in 2017. (Emphasis on “long-anticipated”; plans had been in the works since the 1920s.)....

With cold weather finally here to stay in New York – and especially with the freezing temps this week – indoor amenities are top-of-mind for buyers at some of the city's most luxurious condos. Indoor pools at residential projects were previously viewed as a space for residents to get their daily exercise and not much thought went into the look and feel.

During the Gilded Age, the Upper East Side was known for the opulent mansions lining the streets. More than 100 years later, period drama The Gilded Age is set to premiere on HBO and a new Gilded Age appears to be taking shape off-screen. This time, instead of single-family mansions, a new crop of luxury condominiums is taking shape alongside Landmarks-protected townhouses and cooperatives. The units inside feature expansive floor plans to begin with, but some buyers are opting to combine apartments into one massive home with multiple levels and private outdoor space. The only discernible difference between this and the townhouses lining the blocks are the access to deluxe amenities and white-glove service...

Just over a year ago, Miki Naftali spent about an hour standing on the sidewalk outside his upcoming project at the corner of Madison Avenue and East 80th Street.

Manhattan’s luxury market just finished up its strongest week in almost a decade...

Providing a striking architectural moment from inside and out, arched windows are a unique addition that instantly elevates a home's grandeur and character. First used hundreds of years ago during the heyday of the Roman empire, arched windows were originally utilized for their stability as buildings began growing taller and grander.

Here we have rounded up 5 residential developments featuring beautiful arched windows...

The latest ridiculously luxurious new residential tower in New York has begun sales. Hankies at the ready, folks, because this place is beyond gorgeous. Can money buy taste? In this case, we’d say yes. No soulless glass tower here. Instead, beautiful limestone slabs, sweeping curves, and nods to New York’s fabled Art Deco past are the order of business here...

Invented by the Mesopotamians and perfected by the ancient Romans, the arch is one of mankind's most remarkable engineering and architectural feats. While its usage is best known for supporting monumental structures such as bridges and cathedrals, smaller arched elements are pervasive throughout architecture, old and new. With much of New York City's housing stock built during pre-war Classical Revival periods, arched windows, doorways, and loggias are rather commonplace in the city, especially in older Manhattan and Brooklyn neighborhoods...

The New York City sales market took an unprecedented hit during the depths of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, and recovery is still underway. But as buyers started returning to the city, a curious dynamic emerged: After the high-end market weathered several years of slumping activity, luxury transactions have led the city’s sales comeback...

Manhattan’s wealthy homebuyers are shunning co-ops -- and that’s giving a boost to condo developers on the Upper East Side. One new tower on East 83rd Street has found takers for about a third of its units even before they were publicly listed. The developer of another property, off Park Avenue, has already signed $100 million worth of contracts, nearly a year ahead of a planned marketing effort..

While our once-novel glass towers are starting to lose their shine (and evidently killing our bird population), stone and craftsmanship endures, and are attracting New York's latest crop of robber barons who are proving money can, in fact, buy taste.
