15 Central Park West Developer Plans Ultraluxe Downtown Condominium Tower

Zeckendorf Development is working with Atlas Capital Group to erect a 36-story luxury condominium tower in the West Village. Per the New York Post, the plan calls for a $1 billion ultraluxe building that’s poised to rise on an empty lot near Google’s New York headquarters. Apartments will start in the $5,000-per-square-foot range, an “unheard of” price point for Downtown.

The development company has a proven track record of success with these posh condominiums, with developments like 15 Central Park West and 520 Park Avenue in its portfolio. Completed in 2008, 15 Central Park West is still one of the city’s most notable developments and fetches major contracts. A newly published market report from Olshan Realty revealed that among the 40 contracts signed last week for upwards of $4 million in Manhattan, the biggest sale occurred at 15 Central Park West. The 3,100-square-foot residence with three bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms sold for nearly $22 million just days after coming to market.
