Nowhere else in will you find such a combination of luxury and function. Located in the heart of everything at 555 West 59th, Element Condominiums looks more like a setting of an old time romantic movie, with its landscaped circular drive and a Porte Cochere entry. But residents of these one, two and three bedroom homes are quickly reminded of where and when they live. Each unit of the thirty-four story development has floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the city that drown the senses. Unique, airy designs and state-of-the art fixtures offer subtle reminders that residents live in the 21st century.

Similar to other luxury developments, Element does its best to give residents something “different” in the way of amenities. It has made arrangements with a private concierge service, and more uniquely, a wine valet. With this service, connoisseurs can store their wine off-site and arrange for its delivery when they want it. They can even view their collection on-line. Other amenities include a resident lounge with an HD flat-screen television, a billiards table and a kitchen/bar area. Kids can play on an outside playground or in the indoor playroom.

For the physically fit, or for those just wishing to be, Element Condominiums has a variety of fitness choices. It’s got a gym with Cybex equipment, a yoga room and three indoor pools, including a 60-foot lap pool and a kiddie pool to keep the little ones busy. Of course, no workout is complete without the final reward. Residents can heat up their tired muscles in a Scandinavian sauna, or enjoy a nice relaxing massage in the massage and treatment room. Element also has a private basketball court and an indoor half-court/regulation size squash court.

Within walking distance, residents can get their fill of outdoor activities at Central Park and on the banks of the Hudson River. World famous museums offer culture. There’s always something musically interesting going on near Broadway, whether it’s the orchestra or the opera, and live performances at the bring it all home. Buyers can join the Element family for as little as $800,000, though prices extend as high as $2 million. [ Contact Us ]
