A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at Clinton West would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
Clinton West is a full-service boutique condominium on one of the quieter far-west blocks of Hell's Kitchen. Completed in 2007 to a design by Kutnicki Bernstein Architects, the seven-story building sits between Tenth and Eleventh Avenues and is recognizable by its brick-and-glass façade and gently curved balconies. It was developed by Clinton West Partners with the Kaish & Taub Development Group.
At 45 residences, it is a small building that nonetheless delivers a genuinely full-service package for its size: a full-time doorman, a fitness room, a common landscaped garden, a common rooftop terrace, and private storage. The combination of doorman service and outdoor amenity space at a boutique scale is what distinguishes it from the many smaller, self-managed condominiums nearby.
The location is deep Clinton — close to the Hudson River waterfront and the far-west gallery and dining stretch, with the wider West Side and Hudson Yards a short walk south.
Architecture and unit composition
The 45 apartments span seven stories behind a brick-and-glass envelope with curved balconies. Residences carry nine-foot ceilings and hardwood floors, and select units have private outdoor space. Kitchens are finished with basaltino volcanic-stone countertops, custom cabinetry, Sub-Zero, Viking, and Miele appliances, and Grohe fixtures — a finish package pitched at the upper end of the neighborhood's mid-2000s new construction.
The unit mix runs across the range typical of a boutique building of this vintage, with the balconied and outdoor-space lines drawing the premium within the building.
Building operations
Clinton West operates as a full-service boutique condominium with a full-time doorman, a fitness room, a common garden, a common rooftop terrace, and private storage. It is pet-friendly and has historically been investor-friendly, which supports flexibility for owners over the life of ownership.
As a 2007 building, mechanical systems and the envelope are relatively current. As with any condominium, buyers should review current financial statements, the reserve study, board minutes, and any active or planned capital projects during due diligence.

The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. Facade inspections run on a fixed five-year cycle; future inspection, repair, and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.
How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — the licensed engineer the city requires to sign the report (the independent expert, not the managing agent).
Penalties shown are amounts DOB assessed against filings on record across 2015–20 to 2025–30. The FISP dataset does not record whether they were paid, contested or remain open, so treat the figure as history rather than a current balance and confirm the building’s standing with the managing agent.

Recent sales
Clinton West prices as a full-service boutique Clinton condominium and is read on a price-per-square-foot basis, with the spread driven by floor, exposure, private outdoor space, and finish condition.

What to know if you’re buying
Full service at a boutique scale. A full-time doorman plus a garden and roof terrace is unusual in a 45-unit building. That service level is part of what you're buying.
Outdoor space drives the premium. The balconied and private-outdoor lines carry a durable premium. Confirm exactly what a given unit has.
Condo flexibility is real — and the building is investor-friendly. 30–45 day closings; pied-à-terre, investment, LLC, trust, and foreign-buyer purchases are permitted under the declaration; subletting is allowed. Confirm current sublet rules with management at offer stage.
Mansion tax may apply. At larger-unit pricing the mansion tax and its cliff thresholds can be in play. Run pricing through the Mansion Tax Calculator.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the service level and the outdoor amenities. Doorman, garden, and roof terrace at a boutique scale are the differentiators against smaller self-managed condominiums nearby.
Highlight the finishes. The Sub-Zero / Viking / Miele kitchens and stone countertops are a selling point against generic Clinton inventory.
Closing timelines are condo-fast. 30–45 days from contract to closing.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
