Charlie West, the condominium at 505 West 43rd Street, sits at the seam where Hell's Kitchen meets Hudson Yards and the western edge of Midtown — a stretch that has gone, in a decade, from overlooked to one of the most invested-in corridors on the West Side. Completed in 2017 to a design by ODA New York, it is a 15-story, roughly 123-unit condominium that leaned into amenity and design as its differentiators, arriving as the neighborhood's transformation was accelerating around it.
The building's argument is value-dense ownership in a fast-improving location: a full amenity package — including a real indoor pool, a courtyard, and a two-story gym — in a condominium where pricing has historically sat below the Hudson Yards trophy towers a few blocks south, while sharing much of the same access. For buyers who want a new-ish, full-service condominium near the High Line, Hudson River Park, and the Far West Side's restaurant and transit growth, Charlie West is built to compete on the amenity-per-dollar math.
Architecture and unit composition
ODA's signature is geometry — stepped, terraced, sculptural massing that breaks the box — and Charlie West carries that vocabulary, with setbacks and terraces that give upper-floor homes private outdoor space and the building a distinct profile on the block. Interiors were executed in a clean contemporary register, with the open layouts, full-height glazing, and modern kitchens and baths buyers expect from 2017-era new construction.
The residences span the full size range — studios through four-bedroom homes, including top-floor penthouses with substantial terraces and skyline views. The spread makes the building unusually flexible for the corridor: it serves first-time and investor buyers at the smaller end and family-sized households at the top, all under one full-service condominium roof. Terrace homes and penthouses command the premium; light and view improve sharply with floor, given the open development around the site.
Building operations
For a building of its size, Charlie West's amenity program is genuinely deep: a double-height attended lobby with a curated library and a lounge with a fireplace, a landscaped garden courtyard at the building's center, an indoor heated swimming pool, a two-story fitness center, a children's playroom, a glass-enclosed bike room, and a roof terrace. The pool and the two-story gym in particular put it ahead of most condominiums in its price band on the Far West Side.
As a condominium, the ownership terms are the flexible ones buyers expect: financing latitude with no co-op-style cap, pied-à-terre and investment ownership customary, and subletting and resale governed by condominium by-laws and a right-of-first-refusal rather than a board admissions process — a meaningful draw for investors and pied-à-terre buyers. Common-charge and tax specifics follow the offering plan; we review the current figures with buyers as part of any transaction.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01072-7501) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. 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.
What to know if you’re buying
The variables that move price here are floor, exposure, and outdoor space — a terrace or penthouse position is worth materially more than a comparable interior unit, especially given the open development around the site. Weigh the amenity package against the common charges: the pool and two-story gym carry real value but also real operating cost. As a condominium, the purchase path is light — a right-of-first-refusal, flexible financing, pied-à-terre and investment ownership all customary — which makes the building attractive to a broad buyer pool. We help buyers read the offering plan, compare price per square foot against the Far West Side set, and model carrying costs.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with what the building does better than its price-band peers: a true indoor pool, a courtyard, a two-story gym, and ODA-designed terraces, all in flexible condominium form near the High Line, Hudson River Park, and Hudson Yards. Sellers should benchmark to recent in-building resales and comparable Far West Side condominiums, present the amenity package as a genuine differentiator, and position the condominium's lighter closing mechanics — a right-of-first-refusal rather than a board process — to the investor and pied-à-terre buyers the building attracts. Terrace and penthouse homes should be marketed on their outdoor space and views, which are the building's scarcest and most defensible asset.
