550 West 29th Street — Five Five Zero — is a high-end boutique condominium in West Chelsea, between Tenth and Eleventh Avenues, sitting between the High Line and Hudson River Park at the Hudson Yards edge. Completed as new construction between roughly 2016 and 2019, it was designed by developer-architect Cary Tamarkin of Tamarkin Co., with Hill West as architect of record — a limestone-and-Roman-brick façade with steel casement windows that reads as a considered, tailored piece of contemporary design.
The proposition here is boutique scale and craftsmanship. The building holds just 19 large residences across 12 stories — a mix of simplexes, duplexes, and penthouses, all three- to four-bedroom homes. For a buyer who wants substantial floor plates, a distinctive façade, and a location straddling the High Line and the river at the Hudson Yards edge, Five Five Zero is a rare, design-forward option.
Building operations
The condominium is well-staffed for its size: a 24-hour attended lobby, a full-time superintendent, a fitness room with sauna, a bike room, storage, and video intercom. The amenity set matches the high-end positioning while keeping the building intimate.
550 West 29th is confirmed as a for-sale condominium with real closed sales; as in any condominium, some individual owners hold their units as rentals, but the building trades as a sales asset. As a condominium, ownership is by deed, and purchases clear a condo application and the board's right of first refusal rather than a full co-op board approval. Confirm the current pet policy, move-in rules, and application specifics at offer stage.
Recent sales
Condominium pricing is read on a price-per-square-foot basis, and 550 West 29th trades as a high-end boutique West Chelsea condominium — recent sales average roughly $1,670 per square foot. Trades include unit 7C at approximately $3.1M, with penthouses in the roughly $6M–$7.7M range. With only 19 large residences, resale volume is thin and each closing carries weight. When underwriting a purchase or a list price, capture the square footage, the floor, the exposure, whether the unit is a simplex, duplex, or penthouse, and renovation condition rather than relying on a neighborhood average.

What to know if you’re buying
The headline is craftsmanship at boutique scale. You are buying a large, three- to four-bedroom home in a Cary Tamarkin building with a limestone-and-Roman-brick façade, at a location that straddles the High Line and Hudson River Park at the Hudson Yards edge. Confirm your unit's configuration — simplex, duplex, or penthouse — review the 24-hour staffing and amenity set, and read the condominium's financials and reserve. The reasons to buy are the design, the space, and the position between the park and the river.
What to know if you’re selling
The story is a high-end boutique condominium: 19 large homes by Cary Tamarkin, a distinctive limestone-and-brick façade, and a location at the Hudson Yards edge between the High Line and the river. Pricing is a unit-specific exercise on a $/sf basis: square footage, floor, light, configuration, and condition drive the number more than any block average. We position the building's design pedigree and boutique scale, prepare the buyer for the condominium process, and benchmark against the right comparable tier of West Chelsea condominiums.
