The Park Loggia (15 West 61st Street)

The residential stack runs from the third floor to the thirtieth, plus two penthouse floors, with the seventh given to amenities and its outdoor terrace. The floor plate narrows as the building rises, and the layout program changes with it. Floors three through six carry fifteen apartments across a wide plate — studios in the 495–657 square-foot range, one-bedrooms from roughly 694 to 1,006 square feet, two-bedrooms at 1,173–1,396 square feet, and a four-bedroom A-line corner at 2,029 square feet. Floors eight through fourteen tighten to seven apartments a floor. Floors fifteen and sixteen are transitional, four and five apartments respectively, and include the building's largest terraced residence at 15B — 1,494 interior square feet with 1,843 square feet of terrace, the outlier in the building's outdoor-space inventory. Floors seventeen through thirty settle into a four-apartment tower plate: a three-bedroom A-line of about 1,916 square feet with a 357-square-foot loggia, two-bedroom B and D lines, and a one-bedroom C line. The two penthouse floors each carry a four-bedroom of roughly 2,391 square feet with 511 square feet of terrace, a three-bedroom of about 2,216 square feet, and a one-bedroom.

Finishes are the contemporary luxury standard executed carefully rather than flamboyantly: wide-plank white oak floors, full-slab Brazilian quartzite kitchen counters, White Carrara marble in the primary baths, custom millwork throughout. The loggias — deep enough to furnish, sheltered enough to use in shoulder seasons — do more for the apartments than the finish schedule does.

Full-service: 24-hour doorman and concierge, resident manager, and security staff. The amenity program is concentrated on the seventh floor and the roof — a landscaped terrace and gardens at seven, a fitness suite, a billiards room, a common kitchen and lounge, a children's room, and a rooftop loggia looking east over Central Park.

The building's operating history as a condominium began in earnest on February 1, 2021, when the sponsor ended the common-charge waiver period and the condominium started collecting from unit owners — a detail worth knowing, because it means the building's audited operating record starts later than its 2019 completion date suggests. Anyone underwriting a purchase should request the most recent financial statements and the current reserve position from the managing agent rather than working from the plan's first-year budget.

Ownership form: Fee-simple condominium with a right of first refusal on transfers, in the standard New York form. Closing mechanics are condominium-fast.

Commercial unit: Approximately 69,000 square feet at 26.17 percent common interest. Ask the managing agent about current occupancy, the commercial unit's share of common expenses, and its tax position.

Real estate taxes: No abatement. Model the current bill, not the offering-plan projection.

Pets, pied-à-terre, subletting, LLC and trust purchases: Standard New York condominium practice applies and this building was built and marketed to a buyer pool that includes pied-à-terre and investment purchasers, but the specific current house rules are not reliably documented in public records. Verify with the managing agent at offer stage; we pull the by-laws and house rules for clients during diligence.

Financing: Condominium underwriting. Confirm the building's current owner-occupancy ratio and any sponsor-retained inventory with your lender before contract.

Recent sales

Recent closings at this building, from The Roebling Research Library. Prices are the transfer amounts recorded with the NYC Department of Finance; apartment-level detail is checked against the building’s own file in The Roebling Research Library before publishing.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026) cleared a median $2,302/sf (floor-adjusted) across 3 sales. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 2.0% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01114-7504). Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified in The Roebling Research Library. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage from recorded condo declarations and offering plans.

Model the tax bill first. There is no abatement, and taxes approximate common charges on most lines. Get the actual current bill for your unit before you set your number.

Ask about the commercial unit. A quarter of the building's common interest sits at the base. Its occupancy and expense allocation are material to residential owners in both directions.

Buy the loggia if you can. The private outdoor space is the reason this building differs from every glass tower around it, and it is what the resale market pays for.

The tower plate makes comparables easy. From seventeen up, there are only four apartments per floor. Insist on same-line closed comparables rather than building averages.

Check the operating record, not the plan budget. Common-charge collection began February 2021. Request the most recent audited financials and the reserve position.

Lead with the architecture. Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and a custom terracotta facade are a genuine credential in a Lincoln Square market otherwise defined by 1980s brick and 2000s glass.

Sell the outdoor space explicitly. Square footage of loggia belongs in the headline, not the fine print.

Be transparent about the carry. Sophisticated buyers will compute it. Disclosure produces cleaner contracts and fewer re-trades than discovery does.

Anchor to the line. Same-line, adjacent-floor closed comparables are the strongest pricing evidence this building offers, and there are enough of them to use.
