Vote for 6sqft’s 2024 Building of the Year!

This year, New York City’s residential market started heating up, particularly at the top. For the first time in two years, the city recorded sales exceeding $100 million, including a $135 million penthouse at the Aman New York and a $115 million penthouse at Central Park Tower. In addition to the nine-figure deals, new luxury developments sparked interest beyond Billionaires’ Row, including a pink-wrapped condo in Fort Greene and an “urban-style resort” on the Williamsburg waterfront. Historic hotels and iconic office buildings entered new chapters, while long-anticipated projects, and some repeat Building of the Year candidates, either marked their completion or are finally nearing the finish line.

6sqft has narrowed our picks down to 16 of the most notable residential projects of the year. Which do you think deserves to be crowned the 2024 Building of the Year? Polls for our 10th annual competition will remain open through 5 p.m. on Friday, December 20. A winner will be announced on Monday, December 23. Happy voting!

Radiant

Our only Queens mention this year, Radiant is one of the most uniquely designed condos on this list. Designed by award-winning architects ODA, the 19-story development, located just north of Queensboro Plaza in Long Island City, has a curving undulating facade threaded with protruding terraces and setback windows. The New Empire Corp-developed tower has 117 studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom residences.

Luxury interior designer Paris Forino designed the apartments, which include floor-to-ceiling windows, open-concept layouts, hardwood floors, and kitchens with custom white oak cabinetry and marble countertops. Select units have balconies.

Health and wellness amenities include a spa, a basketball court, a rock climbing wall, and a double-height fitness center. There are several lounges throughout the building, as well as a glass-enclosed rooftop club with a full kitchen, co-working area, game room, and a playroom. Outside, there’s a ping-pong courtyard and a rooftop terrace.

Sales began at the building in October, with prices starting at $665,000 for studios, $870,000 for one-bedrooms, $1,575,000 for two-bedrooms, and $2,490,000 for a three-bedroom unit.
