The Waldorf Astoria is one of New York’s most iconic buildings. Once the tallest and largest hotel in the world, this Park Avenue destination has hosted royalty, celebrities, and dignitaries throughout its storied history. Now, this legendary address has entered an exciting new chapter, announcing closings on the first round of sales for its newly developed residences. The building’s transformation into a luxury condominium is the result of years of meticulous restoration, ushering in a new era for the Waldorf Astoria.
Situated in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, the Waldorf Astoria Residences New York offers buyers the rare opportunity to own a piece of the city’s history. The property’s redevelopment includes 375 luxury condominium residences atop 375 hotel rooms, a project led by the renowned architectural firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. The restoration preserves the building’s iconic Art Deco character while incorporating modern comforts, seamlessly blending historic grandeur with contemporary luxury. One of the most celebrated restored features is the 1893 World’s Fair Clock, a beloved centerpiece of the property.
The residences range from studios to four-bedroom homes and penthouses, each offering a variety of floor plans. Many units include private terraces and are outfitted with interiors by internationally acclaimed designer Jean-Louis Deniot. Buyers have the option to purchase fully furnished, turnkey residences designed by the renowned Italian firm B&B Italia as well. Also, model residences curated by 2025 AD100 designer Josh Greene are now available for viewing, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail in these homes.
Every unit showcases Art Deco elegance, with windows that replicate the originals from the building’s golden age. High-end finishes include custom wood and lacquer cabinetry, Gaggenau kitchen appliances, custom Italian vanities, and heated bathroom floors.
Pricing varies based on layout, with studios starting at $1.87 million, while a four-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom unit is currently listed for $18.75 million.
Beyond their private residences, homeowners will enjoy access to an unparalleled suite of amenities. The building offers 50,000 square feet of private residential amenities curated by Jean-Louis Deniot, in addition to the world-class services of the Waldorf Astoria hotel.
Wellness and fitness offerings include a 25-meter swimming pool overlooking Park Avenue, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and a wellness lounge with a steam room, sauna, and treatment rooms. Entertainment spaces are equally impressive, featuring the Winter Garden lounge with a bar, the Monte Carlo Gaming Room, the Presidential Library, and the Starlight Terrace.
Security, privacy, and service are paramount at the Waldorf Astoria. Residents benefit from an on-site concierge atelier, a high-end residential management team, and 24/7 access to the most extensive security and service team of any super-luxury building in New York.
