bathroomsThe story of 551 West 21st Street #4A is one of rarefied ambition and architectural genius, where visionary design meets the pulse of New York’s ever-evolving skyline. Located in the vibrant heart of West Chelsea, this exceptional jewel-box pied-à-terre offers a 2,100 SF+/- residence with an unparalleled living experience, blending classical Brazilian modernism with cutting-edge New York sophistication.
Conceived by Lord Norman Foster's celebrated firm, Foster + Partners, in collaboration with Scott Resnick of SR Capital, this iconic property stands as a testament to the collaboration between visionary architects and legacy-driven real estate developers. The building rises majestically along the Hudson, its geometric, angular façade crafted from brilliant white precast concrete and polished brass—an architectural statement that complements its revered neighbors, including the Statue of Liberty, just blocks to the south.
The seamless integration of architecture and design is evident within the residence. Inspired by modernist influences from São Paulo, Brasil and Manhattan, #4A, named "Pau Brasil," offers an elegant 2 bedroom, 2 full and 1 half bathroom layout. The home begins with a gracious foyer to welcome guests and is distinguished by bespoke finishes and meticulous craftsmanship by J. Mansfield of WV GC.
Situated at the intersection of the Chelsea Arts District and Hudson Yards, 551 West 21st Street #4A is just a stone’s throw from the High Line and steps away from the city’s most celebrated galleries, restaurants, and cultural institutions. In this rarefied location, the art of living reaches its highest expression.
For those with an appreciation for architectural mastery, this residence presents a rare opportunity to live within an iconic Manhattan landmark. 551 West 21st Street #4A is not merely a home; it is an investment in legacy and craftsmanship— a once-in-a-lifetime chance to reside at the intersection of art, design, and culture.
The living spaces exude warmth and comfort, with built-in furnishings by Molteni & Co., unique to this apartment, and enhanced by perimeter and recessed lighting channels. Superior storage, designed by the Brazilian closet company Ornare, adds a seamless and distinctive touch throughout.
The kitchen, designed for culinary artistry by Obumex, offers an uncluttered living environment while providing ample flexibility for entertaining. It features a custom walnut banquette and breakfast table, as well as top-of-the-line Gaggenau, Sub-Zero, and Miele appliances. The dining area, with seating for 6+ guests, seamlessly connects to the living room.
The primary suite serves as a peaceful sanctuary, with custom dual walnut nightstands and a walnut double vanity, topped with luxurious Ombra Nero-honed stone, which continues into the large walk-in shower. Floor-to-ceiling built-in doors cleverly conceal multi-purpose clothes arrangements.
In true Manhattan fashion, this property embodies the epitome of convenience. A 24-hour concierge, secure private elevator access, and a range of wellness amenities—including a state-of-the-art fitness center, yoga room, and spa—provide an experience as sophisticated as the neighborhood itself.
