One West End

On Eleventh Avenue, between West 59th and 60th Streets, One West End was designed to deliver exceptional views of the Manhattan skyline and the Hudson River from its prime Upper West Side perch. Built in 2017, One West End was the first in a planned development near the Hudson River waterfront, which includes the 21 West End Avenue building, the nearby Waterline Square residential buildings, and meticulously landscaped outdoor spaces. Designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli, the glass tower ascends 42 stories and offers luxe contemporary one to five-bedroom units to discerning residents, who have included Bruce Willis. With its coveted amenities, including an expansive rooftop terrace, One West End offers the luxury of space to stretch out in a dense city. The building’s 246 residences have been designed to maximize a feeling of spaciousness. The views are the real draw here, with large floor-to-ceiling windows in every unit welcoming in both sunlight and the cityscape. Open floor plans offer luxurious flow, and interiors, designed by Jeffrey Beers, deliver white and grey marble slab countertops and Scavolini-crafted kitchens with light or dark-stained walnut cabinetry. Shortly after the building opened, its first four-bedroom penthouse sold for almost $18 million. Currently a four-bedroom corner unit with wraparound city and water views, en suite bathrooms and a walk-in foyer lists for $8.5 million. On the smaller end, a compact one-bedroom with a galley kitchen, Zuma soaking tub and heated bathroom floors made of Bianco Dolomiti marble might cost $1.5 million. A couple of rare townhouses feature two floors, great rooms with double-height windows and sprawling private outdoor terraces. Residences here embody quiet luxury, equipped with wide plank hardwood floors, large laundry closets for washers and dryers, and high-end appliances, including Sub-Zero refrigerators and Miele dishwashers. Many kitchens include Gaggenau wine refrigerators and bedrooms offer walk-in closets. One West End particularly appeals to residents thanks to its stellar amenities, including a 12,000-square-foot rooftop terrace and garden with lounging cabanas. In addition to a well-outfitted fitness center, residents have access to a sparkling 75-foot lap pool that looks out onto a landscaped terrace. Because One West End prioritizes space and entertaining, residents also have access to a resident lounge with a fireplace, a media room, a children’s playroom, and a dining room with a full chef’s kitchen. Plus, a 24-hour concierge serves the building and on-site parking is available. One West End’s Upper West Side location puts it close to some of New York City’s gems, including Lincoln Center, just five blocks away, and Central Park, three blocks east. The nearby Waterline Square Park offers a relaxing green space and connects to the West Side Highway and Hudson River Park. Coffee shops and restaurants are easy to find, including the applauded Harry’s Table by Cipriani, just a stone’s throw away. Even closer, a Morton Williams supermarket is on the ground floor of the building, making grocery shopping extremely convenient. The 59th Street-Columbus Circle subway station is three blocks east and provides access to the A and C trains, the B and D, and the 1. A current tax abatement is available for many units. Common charges for the building are about average.
