Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

Located just off Fifth Avenue and neighboring the Peninsula Hotel, 19 West 55th Street is a 10-story building spanning approximately 39,000 square feet. The building is delivered fully gutted and nearly vacant, save for three rent-stabilized units. Previously configured with retail at grade and 29 residential units above, this site is suited for a boutique luxury development or alternative high-end use. A visionary redesign proposes an elegant limestone façade with double-height windows, multiple outdoor terraces, and a striking enclosed colonnade. Plans are in place for a luxury condominium conversion, replete with timeless architectural details. Anchored in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, with Central Park, MoMA, and world-class retail nearby, 19 West 55th Street is attracting top-tier interest, including a potential $42,000/month lease from a renowned restaurateur. Immediate access to the B/D/E/F/M/N/Q/R subway lines provides unmatched convenience and connectivity.
