As spring blooms in New York City, luxury homebuyers are on the hunt for breathtaking views to enhance their living experience. From panoramic city views, made possible by floor-to-ceiling windows, to glimpses of Central Park transforming into a lush green oasis, stunning vistas are in high demand. New Yorkers can revel in the city's gradual awakening from the comfort of their own homes, with touches of greenery and sparkling downtown views. In this article, we showcase new development buildings that offer dynamic views of the city during springtime, allowing residents to immerse themselves in the beauty of NYC.

Selene

Selene, the Midtown Manhattan luxury tower designed by the Pritzker Prize-winning Foster + Partners, offers perfect pied-à-terre residences with sweeping views of New York City. The building’s luminous tower homes range from expansive, one-bedroom residences to a duplex full-floor penthouse and boast ceilings up to 11 feet in height, elegantly undulating glass walls, and iconic day-to-night vistas that bathe each residence in natural light. Residence 51A is a sprawling 3,385-square-foot full-floor 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom residence offering sweeping, panoramic views of New York City in every direction, including Central Park. In addition to the dramatic vistas, the home features a grand arrival gallery that leads to a great room, kitchen and dining area with luminous floor-to-ceiling windows. Privately located at the opposite end of the impressive residence is the double-exposure primary suite with an expansive dressing area and a luxurious spa-inspired en suite bath. The buyer of this home will also enjoy direct elevator access to the Michelin-starred Le Jardinier, the first New York City restaurant designed by the award-winning architect and interior designer Joseph Dirand.

One United Nations Park

Rising 43 stories above the East River, One United Nations Park offers a collection of 148 gracious condominium residences boasting sweeping views of the East River and Manhattan skyline. Residence 40E is a southwest-facing 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom residence configured to maximize its outstanding views of the city as it blooms during springtime. In addition to its dynamic views, the residence boasts ceilings over nine feet with floor-to-ceiling windows allowing for maximum openness and natural light. White oak floors are found in all residences and open kitchens boast white Calacatta Lincoln marble counters, Dornbracht fixtures and Gaggenau appliances clad in custom-crafted Italian white lacquer. Additionally, each residence at One United Nations Park is also equipped with a built-in Crestron ‘smart home’ system that regulates temperature, lighting and the motorized solar and blackout window shades. These functions, and the potential for others, are seamlessly controlled by residents through any iOS or Android device on the “Pyng” app. 

200 East 59th Street

Like its predecessor 432 Park Avenue, 200 East 59th Street is a high-design residential tower that pushes the boundaries of classic modernism. With only one to three homes per floor, all 67 residences are corner units and take advantage of the building's expansive terraces that wrap around its 35 floors. They are seamless extensions of the main living room, separated by floor-to-ceiling walls of glass with slender framework and no horizontal interruptions to virtually eliminate the visual distinction between indoor and outdoor space. For that reason, the views at this building are unlike any other. To the north, the tower overlooks Central Park, where spring will soon be in full effect. One standout residence is 24D, priced at $4.345 million. Designed by CetraRuddy, this spacious 1,555-square-foot, two-bedroom, two and a half bath half-floor corner residence features 354 linear feet of terrace space with  access to an amenities level with a double-height lounge, marble fireplace, furnished and landscaped terrace, fitness center and a private dining room with a catering kitchen for larger functions.

Front & York

Designed inside and out by celebrated architect Morris Adjmi, Front & York is introducing the first opportunity to live in a full-service, luxury urban oasis in DUMBO. On the market for $4.575 million, Penthouse 20D is a light-filled three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom home offering immense floor-to-ceiling divided light windows that bathe the home in natural light and frame expansive views of the Brooklyn skyline. The home is complete with an exclusive private terrace with a gas grill, which lends itself to extraordinary indoor-outdoor entertaining and soaking in the views overlooking the development's private park, a verdant garden oasis. Perfect for prospective buyers looking for outdoor access this spring, Front & York is currently offering a $10,000 landscaping credit for buyers of units with outdoor space. 

53 West 53

An impressive and unmistakable addition to the Manhattan skyline, 53 West 53 is the striking condominium tower rising 1,050 feet above the Museum of Modern Art in the heart of Midtown. Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Jean Nouvel with interiors by the legendary Thierry Despont, 53 West 53 features 161 residences, including full-floor homes and duplex penthouses with private elevators. Its prestigious address in the heart of Midtown offers panoramic views of Central Park, the East River, the Hudson River, the downtown skyline, and beyond, giving residents a front-row seat to admire the intensely vibrant sunrises and sunsets that come with the spring season. On the market for $15.42 million, Residence 60B at 53 West 53 comprises 3,132 square feet and features three bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms, a custom eat-in kitchen, and north-, south-, east-, and west-facing exposures. A standout space of the home is the gracious living room lined on three sides with floor-to-ceiling windows that artfully frame cinematic north-facing views of Central Park and one-of-a-kind south- and west-facing vistas.
