It's rare that an award-winning architect and the owner of an acclaimed hotel chain work together to create a Manhattan condominium; it's a first for Soho. At 40 Mercer Street, Jean Nouvel's neo-modern glass-and-steel building of the same name stands out amongst block after block of cobblestone streets and historic cast-iron lofts. It is a striking contrast that adds to the neighborhood's architectural diversity, and 40 Mercer's prime location only ensures that it will be one of Manhattan's most sought-after condominiums for a long time to come. It wouldn't be accurate to describe the condos for sale at 40 Mercer without the terms luxurious, posh, and stunning. Floor-to-ceiling windows draw in large amounts of natural light, filling up airy spaces with high ceilings. Warm wood grains fuse together with stainless steel appliances in each kitchen, only to accented through soft recessed and pendant lighting. This pattern continues throughout the residences at 40 Mercer to the bathrooms, which all feature a cubist combination of wood and marble with sumptuous components and an industrial-inspired design. Yet the best part of 40 Mercer's design is its incredible views of Soho and Lower Manhattan, aided by the building's height and placement at the intersection of Mercer and Grand Streets. Designed with hotel clients in mind, 40 Mercer offers a wealth of amenities to its residents. All have access to a private fitness center with a gym, steam room, sauna, and pool, a courtyard, and rooftop terrace, all of which are perfect for relaxing and are shielded from the hectic nature of New York City. In addition, there is both 24-hour doorman and concierge service, adding a personal touch to this already unique condominium. With all of this and an address in one of Manhattan's most desirable neighborhoods, it's no wonder that 40 Mercer is making its mark on the Manhattan condo scene.
