The Link

Completed in 2007 and located at the east border of Hell’s Kitchen, The Link Building certainly has its prime location going for it. But more than that — the highrise is surrounded by low- and mid-rise buildings on just about every side, so residents also get fantastic unobstructed views of the Midtown area and beyond. “The Link condominium is a striking example of modern urban living,” says Andrea Pedicini, a real estate salesperson with Corcoran. “The building’s exterior is a seamless blend of glass and steel, providing a clean, minimalist look that reflects the modernity of the area.” The 215-unit tower, Pedicini adds, embodies architect Costas Kondylis’s characteristic sleek, sophisticated aesthetic, with a 42-story facade dominated by floor-to-ceiling glass windows. It’s “a minimalist yet elegant feel, focusing on functional and aesthetically pleasing spaces,” he says. Walking into the expansive, glass-cube lobby at 310 West 52nd Street, newcomers can feel a bit overwhelmed —and yet right at home. Anne Ellington, a real estate agent with Berkshire Hathaway, for instance, had already shown one of her clients around 20 different apartments before finding “the one” at The Link. “We walked in and looked at each other with big eyes, and just said ‘This is gorgeous.’ It was just a respite after seeing so many apartments,” she says. “The architecture is beautiful, and the lobby is awe-inspiring. It really draws people in with the stone and the glass.” But what really sold her client was the unit’s dining room, which featured large windows and views of the Hudson River.
