Baccarat Residences New York

A condominium residence, owned outright in fee simple. You take a deed to a numbered unit together with an undivided share of the common elements, and New York City bills property tax on the unit to you. There are 60 residences on floors 18 to 49, reached from their own entrance, lobby and lifts at 20 West 53rd Street. The hotel holds the first 12 floors and is separately owned. Sales here are resales from private owners, so the unit, its measured area and its share of the common elements are confirmed for the specific residence before you commit.

Owner use all year. Residences may be let on longer leases, and several were on the rental market in September 2026 at between 15,000 and 75,000 USD a month. Short holiday letting is not available: New York City rules stop a host letting a whole home to visitors for fewer than 30 days, and a registered host must stay in the home with no more than 2 guests. No hotel letting programme covers these residences, so owners let privately through brokers. Where an owner offers a stay through Avory, that is subject to availability. Pets are allowed. Lease terms and any board consent are confirmed for the specific residence.

Two charges run monthly: the condominium common charge and New York City property tax, both billed to the residence. The common charge is set unit by unit rather than at a flat rate per square foot. Of the residences on the resale market in September 2026, a 1,297 sq ft one-bedroom on the 32nd floor carried common charges of 2,002 USD a month and property tax of 2,735 USD a month, and a 2,525 sq ft three-bedroom on the 38th floor carried 6,900 USD and 3,380 USD. Hotel services are charged as used. Both figures are confirmed for the specific residence before you commit.

Owners use the hotel floors below them, and the residents' entrance, lobby and lifts are separate from the hotel's. Housekeeping, dining in the residence and valet parking are arranged through the hotel and charged as used. Spa, pool and fitness sit on the wellness floors below the street. The list below sets out what is on site.

Skidmore, Owings & Merrill designed the tower for Starwood Capital with Tribeca Associates, and it was finished in 2015. It stands 605 ft over 50 storeys, with 347,000 sq ft of gross area on a site of 17,573 sq ft. The east and west walls are faceted jet black aluminium panels and the north and south walls are clear glass, so the residences take floor-to-ceiling windows on those two faces. Three bronze portals at street level separate the hotel, the residences and a public library. Tony Ingrao designed the residence interiors and Gilles & Boissier the hotel's. Ceiling heights vary by line and are confirmed for the specific residence.

West 53rd Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, with the Museum of Modern Art across the street. The 53rd Street Library, a 28,000 sq ft branch of the New York Public Library that opened on 27 June 2016, holds the ground floor and two basement levels of the same building, on the site of the old Donnell Library. The E and M trains at Fifth Avenue and 53rd Street are under 500 feet from the door and Rockefeller Center is 0.15 miles away. Central Park is a short walk north. LaGuardia in Queens is the closest of the three airports serving the city.

A foreign buyer may own a New York condominium outright, and a condominium does not put you through the interview a co-operative would, though the board is given notice of a sale. The buyer pays the mansion tax, 1% of the price from 1 million USD, with a New York City supplement of between 0.25% and 2.9% on residential sales from 2 million USD. The seller normally pays the state transfer tax of 2 USD per 500 USD. When a foreign owner later sells, the buyer withholds 15% of the amount realised under the FIRPTA rules. Take United States tax advice before you contract.

Avory deals with the listing brokers for the residences on the market and, where an owner will sell privately, with the owner directly. After you enquire we send the unit's floorplan, its common charges and property tax, and the last recorded sale on the line, then arrange a viewing with the broker. Stays are in owner residences and are subject to availability; Avory does not book the hotel. Nothing here is a sale by the developer. Request access.
