Work is wrapping up on The Cortland, a 25-story residential tower at 555 West 22nd Street in West Chelsea. Designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects and developed by Related Companies, the 300-foot-tall structure will yield 144 condominium units in two- to five-bedroom layouts with interiors by Olson Kundig, as well as a series of penthouses. Related Sales and CORE Group are the exclusive co-sales and marketing agents for the property, which is located at the confluence of Eleventh Avenue and West Street, between West 22nd and West 23rd Streets.
The Cortland, a new luxury development boasting 144 residences and a handful of engaging amenities located across the Hudson River Park in NYC’s West Chelsea, debuts a lively, well-designed playroom.
With "getaway season" fast approaching, I want to propose a timely round-up of luxurious porte cocheres that help make travel more seamless for residents of NYC's top condos.
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.
