The crunch. The bubble. The squeeze. Whatever you want to call the current housing climate, the good news is that more concrete and steel boxes are hitting the market soon.

The phrase "porte-cochere" comes from the French phrase "carriage porch," and throughout New York, several of the buildings that have these covered entrances or driveways date back to a prewar era when carriages were the main means of conveyance.

Cars have long since displaced horses as the dominant means of conveyance, but port-cocheres have become a key feature in New York’s luxury buildings.

Inspired by West Chelsea’s historical architecture and rich industrial heritage, The Cortland is a building for generations to come.

With so many people gearing up to race out of the city for Memorial Day Weekend (the official kickoff to summer), the residential buildings with on-site parking are in high demand. With elegant porte cocheres, landscaped motor courts and dedicated parking spaces for residents, these buildings make it easy to store your car and make a quick getaway for your weekend plans.

Thanks to creative thinking, West Chelsea has given us some of the best-known examples of adaptive reuse in the city. Inventive rezoning by the Bloomberg administration preserved and fostered the Chelsea Arts District as the world's largest art district of now more than 400 operating galleries. The former trans-oceanic liner berths of Chelsea Piers have been cleverly adapted into a fitness, recreational, and entertainment country club of sorts. And the stories of the High Line and Chelsea Market have become legends and inspirations all over the world, not just in New York.

Luxe Manhattan homes just keep on shattering sales records, with nearly 400 contracts signed for apartments priced from $4 million and up in the first 12 weeks of the year. Though listing inventory is lower than it was this time last year, the luxury sector remains the most active part of New York’s real estate market, with average sales prices up 24% compared to the first quarter of 2021, according to a recent report from Douglas Elliman.

Sales have officially launched at The Cortland, a 25-story condominium building at 555 West 22nd Street in the West Chelsea neighborhood. Developed by Related Companies, in partnership with Mitsui Fudosan America, the nearly 300-foot-tall new structure was designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects with interiors by Olson Kundig and will hold 144 residential units. The Cortland will have a mix of two- to five-bedroom residences, as well as a series of penthouses. Related Sales LLC and CORE Group are the exclusive co-sales and marketing agents for the development, with residences starting at $4.05 million.

Related Companies, in partnership with Mitsui Fudosan America, today announced the launch of sales at The Cortland in the West Chelsea neighborhood of New York City. The luxury condominium building designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects, with interiors by Olson Kundig, is the first partnership between the world-renowned architectural firms and reflects their signature styles, shared dedication to craftsmanship, and deep understanding of how people want to live. Located at 555 West 22nd Street, The Cortland’s remarkable location across from Hudson River Park offers the rare opportunity to enjoy both park and river views.

Related Companies on Thursday launched sales at The Cortland, a new 25-story waterfront luxury condo designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects (RAMSA) with interiors from Olson Kundig. Located at 555 West 22nd Street in Chelsea, the tower offers residents views of the Hudson River and almost 20,000 square feet of amenity space. While exact pricing for all 144 loft-like residences has not been released yet, a spokesperson for the project said two-bedrooms start at just above $4 million and over $21 million for four bedrooms.

Designed by Olson Kundig, The Cortland interiors have been revealed for the first time through a series of photographs that gives a hint of what living inside this finely tuned New York luxury residential development would be like. Crafted inside a building created by Robert AM Stern Architects, this is Seattle-based Olson Kundig’s first multi-family project in the Big Apple – and the practice has employed all its flair, sophistication and well-balanced, rich aesthetic, while drawing on the context and the wider area’s industrial heritage.

The pandemic-fueled luxury real estate boom shows no signs of slowing down. While supply chain woes continue to cause uncertainty for builder timelines, there are a handful of notable new developments that will be hitting the market this year to help satiate buyer demand. From a supertall Brooklyn condominium tower to luxury second homes in the Riviera Maya, Mexico, here are five launches to look out for this year.

One of DTLA's most conspicuous parking lots is a thing of the past. Nearly one year after we last stopped by, the concrete podium is complete, and the trunk of Mitsui Fudosan America's new residential high-rise is taking shape at the intersection of 8th and Figueroa Streets in Downtown Los Angeles.

New developments flew off the shelf last year, but with so many residences popping up across the city, it’s hard to know what buildings are driving the boom. The Real Deal has ranked the top ten selling new developments of 2021 using new data compiled by Brown Harris Stevens Development Marketing.
