The Towers of the Waldorf Astoria, New York

A condominium unit, held in fee simple, with a deed to the residence and to its share of the common elements. New sales come from the sponsor, AB Stable LLC, under offering plan CD18-0101 filed with the New York Attorney General. Units are listed at 303 Park Avenue and the sales office sits at 305 Park Avenue. Hilton does not own, develop or sell the residences. The developer uses the Waldorf Astoria name under a limited licence from Hilton, which can be terminated or can expire without renewal. The condominium's rules and its schedule of common charges sit in the offering plan.

Owner use all year. There are no fixed weeks and no rotation, because this is a home rather than a club membership. New York City does not allow a whole home to be let for fewer than 30 nights, and a shorter stay is lawful only where the permanent occupant remains in the residence with the guests, so nightly letting is not available here. Lets of 30 nights or more run under the condominium's own leasing rules, confirmed for the specific residence before you commit. Hotel services reach the residence: dining at any hour, spa treatments taken at home, and a house account.

Common charges run at about 1.86 US dollars per square foot a month across the residences listed on 17 September 2026. In figures: 1,011 dollars a month for the 545 sq ft studio at 2202, 3,214 dollars for the 1,731 sq ft two bedroom at 3311, and 7,158 dollars for the 3,855 sq ft three bedroom at 2429. New York City property tax runs at about 39 dollars per square foot a year on the same residences, from 21,432 dollars for that studio to 151,440 dollars for that three bedroom. The city's class 2 rate for the 2026 fiscal year is 12.439% of billable assessed value. Both are confirmed for the specific residence before you commit.

Over 50,000 sq ft of residential amenities sit on floors 18, 19, 20 and 25, reached from two residential entrances that are separate from the hotel: a doorman entrance on Park Avenue and a porte cochere with valet on 50th Street. Six passenger lifts and two service lifts serve the residential floors. Residents also draw on the hotel, which runs a spa of over 30,000 sq ft. The list below sets out the detail, and which parts carry a charge.

The Waldorf Astoria opened on Park Avenue in 1931 to a design by Schultze and Weaver: Art Deco, 47 storeys, 625 ft, on the block between 49th and 50th Streets. The exterior and part of the interior, ground floor to fourth, were designated New York City landmarks in March 2017. The hotel closed on 1 March 2017 and reopened on 15 July 2025. Skidmore, Owings and Merrill led the restoration, with Suffolk Construction as general contractor. The building now holds 375 hotel rooms on the lowest 18 floors and 375 residences above them, drawn in 124 floor plans. Jean-Louis Deniot designed the residences, Pierre-Yves Rochon the hotel interiors.

Park Avenue between 49th and 50th Streets, on a block that runs through to Lexington Avenue. St Bartholomew's Church, Lever House, the Seagram Building and the Helmsley Building are the immediate neighbours. Grand Central Terminal is a short walk south along Park Avenue, and the Fifth and Madison Avenue shops sit a few streets west. The developer's own neighbourhood map also lists the Museum of Modern Art, the Morgan Library, Christie's and Sotheby's. LaGuardia, in East Elmhurst, Queens, is the closest airport, with Kennedy and Newark the other two.

A foreign buyer needs no permission to own a New York condominium. At closing there is New York City transfer tax at 1.425% of the price above 500,000 dollars, New York State transfer tax at 2 dollars per 500 dollars, which is 0.4%, and mansion tax from 1% at 1 million dollars, with a New York City supplement of 0.25% to 2.9% on residential sales at 2 million dollars or more. In a sponsor sale the purchase agreement decides who pays which of those, so read it. When a non-US owner later sells, 15% of the amount realised is withheld under FIRPTA and reclaimed through a US tax filing.

Avory deals with the sales office at 305 Park Avenue and with Douglas Elliman Development Marketing, the sponsor's sales and marketing agent, and with resale owners and their brokers. After you enquire you get a viewing appointment, the floor plan, the offering plan, and the common charge and tax figures for that residence. Avory is not the sponsor or Hilton and cannot change the sponsor's prices. Owner stays run 30 nights or more, subject to availability. Request access.
