Location: Upper West Side, Manhattan
Price:$15.45 million
This full-floor penthouse with a large outdoor terrace and great city views is in a brand-new building in a landmarked district of Manhattan’s Upper West Side.
"There has not been much new development on the Upper West Side because of historic districts and landmarked districts," said Elizabeth Unger, sales director of the Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group. "You have a lot of sky."
The penthouse, which is on the 13th floor of a new 13-story building also stands out because of its large terrace with 360-degree views of the neighborhood and out to the Hudson River, Ms. Unger said. "There is a rarity of outdoor space on the Upper West Side—it’s not as common as it is in other neighborhoods."
From the formal entry foyer, you step into a 60-foot-long south-facing great room with 7-foot-6-inch casement-style windows, a gas fireplace, soaring 10-foot-6-inch ceilings, and a wet bar.

The 2,500-square-foot terrace also has an outdoor kitchen and gas range as well as southern, northern and western exposures. Further, the master bedroom and one other bedroom have private balconies.
The penthouse, which is one of only 19 units in the building, also features unusually high ceilings—10-foot-6-inches, compared to 9-foot-4 inches in the rest of the building. "That really opens it up, makes it almost loftlike," Ms. Unger said.
The developer, Anbau Enterprises, "is a husband and wife team—both are architects," Ms. Unger said. "They specialize in this. The majority of their properties are boutique buildings in landmarked districts."
"This building has a pre-war quality, she added, "with the light and spacious floor plans of new developments."
Architect Morris Adjmi "pays homage to what people know as the Upper West Side," she said.

Design elements of the building’s exterior are reflected in its lobby details and residence interiors. The public foyers, for example, are embellished with custom wallpaper based on the design of the facade’s terracotta panels.
The building is "practically completed," she said, with some remaining finishes on the amenities and common areas still do be done.
"Three people have moved in," she added. "Out of 19 units, we are over 60% sold."
From the formal entry foyer of the penthouse, you step into a 60-foot-long south-facing great room with 7-foot-6-inch casement-style windows, a gas fireplace, wet bar and solid oak flooring in a mansion weave pattern.
The kitchen is outfitted with Pedini custom oak cabinetry, Calacatta marble, and Sub-Zero, Wolf and Miele appliances.
In the bedrooms, plank flooring offers a contrast from the public living spaces.
