354 West 52nd Street

Architecture Outfit's design is a contemporary low-rise built on a reinforced-concrete frame, scaled to the mid-block streetwall rather than reaching for a tower silhouette. The seven-story massing keeps the building neighborly while delivering the floor plates the program needs, and the landscaped garden and stepped terraces give the facade depth and greenery.

The 32 residences run from one to three bedrooms, sized from about 950 square feet up to roughly 3,000, with most homes featuring a private terrace and a dedicated home office. New construction here means contemporary ceiling heights, modern mechanical systems, and the energy and glazing standards of a 2020s building. The boutique count keeps the building intimate, and the mix is tuned to both first-move-up buyers and families wanting space and outdoor area in Midtown.

354 West 52nd runs as a boutique new condominium with a residential program scaled to 32 homes — a landscaped garden, private terraces, and the streamlined operations a building of this size supports. The emphasis is on livable, flexible homes rather than a sprawling amenity floor, while actual common charges depend on the operating budget, reserve funding and assessments.

As a condominium, purchases clear through a condominium right-of-first-refusal rather than a co-op board interview. Confirm financing, leasing, pied-à-terre and ownership-entity rules in the current declaration, bylaws and house rules. Common charges, the tax picture, and house rules follow the building's offering plan, which we help buyers read.

Recent sales

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01042-0054; each condominium apartment is its own tax lot). 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.

This is new construction sold as a condominium. There is no co-op board admission — purchases run through the condominium's application and right-of-first-refusal process — and financing, pied-à-terre and investor-purchase rules should be confirmed in the offering plan and declaration. The standout features are practical: a private terrace and a home-office layout on most homes. Confirm which residences carry terraces and how the layouts handle the office, weigh floor and exposure on a mid-block site, and read the offering plan for common charges and the tax projection. As a sponsor sale, expect a new-development transaction timeline.

Lead with outdoor space and flexible layouts. Private terraces and home offices are exactly what the current Midtown West buyer is shopping for, and they differentiate this building from older rental-conversion stock. Benchmark to recent Hell's Kitchen new construction, where amenity efficiency and usable outdoor space drive value. The condominium uses a right-of-first-refusal process, and the location — Theater District, Hudson River parks, and Eighth Avenue transit within a short walk — anchors the pitch. Early resales benefit from the scarcity of new boutique product on the block.
