A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 550 West 29th Street 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.
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.
Architecture and residences
The building is a Cary Tamarkin design, with Hill West as architect of record — a limestone-and-Roman-brick façade set with steel casement windows that gives it a materiality more often associated with pre-war construction than new development. Rising 12 stories, it holds 19 large units in a mix of simplexes, duplexes, and penthouses, all three- to four-bedroom layouts. The result is a boutique building of substantial homes rather than a high-turnover tower.

Recent sales
550 West 29th trades as a high-end boutique West Chelsea condominium, with the penthouses at the top of the building's 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.

Market read. Most recent trades (2025) cleared a median $1,214/sf (floor-adjusted) across 1 sale. 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 3.7% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

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.
