With all the new condos and apartment buildings being built all throughout NYC, we have seen everything when it comes to amenities – from Vitamin C showers to lavish doggy spas and beyond. However, many buyers constantly find themselves looking for a home where they can have the ultimate privacy.

The demand for these types of features for privacy has risen and new developments are adding amenities such as secured entrances, private elevator banks, luxury porte-cocheres, and additional levels of staff and security so that individuals will never have to step onto the sidewalk outside their apartment, or even have to go through the main lobby. If you are one of those individuals that are looking for this “must-have” luxury amenity, here’s a list of some buildings that offer next-level privacy.

108 Leonard

The Developers at 108 Leonard went to extensive lengths to include an impressive private, heated, covered motor reception with private parking, allowing residents to drive straight into the enclosed vestibule and enter the building without ever stepping outside. The developers have expected, and have had confirming feedback from potential buyers, that affluent residents and high profile individuals specifically appreciate this feature. 108 Leonard also features three lobby entrances – on Leonard Street, Broadway and Lafayette Street – in addition to a separate private entrance on Catherine Lane.

The Centrale

Ceruzzi Properties’ The Centrale also features a private porte-cochere spanning from 49th Street to 50th Street with a private covered entrance that leads directly to the elevators. This allows residents to drive in and immediately hop into the elevator, while also avoiding the hassle of having to come in contact with other residents or outside guests.

One United Nations Park

Located in the Midtown East corridor, just south of the storied United Nations headquarters, One United Nations Park was designed with the highest level of privacy in mind. A private porte cochere and indoor motor court welcomes residents home, and they are whisked up to sun-drenched apartments clad in the finest finishes, such as Calacatta Lincoln marble countertops and custom oak flooring. The limited collection of expansive duplex residences in the building has double height ceilings with floor-to-ceiling windows that are layered black glass on the exterior, but remain completely translucent from inside the building. This reaffirms that residents won't be distrubed once inside their home.

Jardim

Tucked away in Manhattan’s West Chelsea neighborhood, Jardim is the first U.S. residential development by Isay Weinfeld, the world-renowned Brazilian architect and interior designer known for his hotels and high-end homes, including the ultra-chic Fasano Hotels around the world. The Portuguese word for garden—Jardim—is a fitting name for this plant-filled property, which boasts an ultra-private urban park that envelops the two 11-story towers that comprise the development. In addition to the 36 residences and gardens, amenities include a skylit swimming pool, fitness center, spa facilities and a brick-vaulted private tunnel that connects West 27th and 28th Streets, leading to views of the garden’s dense greenery through a lattice wall in the lobby—serving as the ultimate paparazzi-proof porte cochere. Jardim is developed by Centaur Properties and Greyscale Development Group.

Greenwich West

Hudson Square’s newest residential tower, Greenwich West, offers a modern downtown lifestyle in one of New York City’s most vibrant and exciting neighborhoods. Located at 110 Charlton Street, the 30-story building is being designed by a team of acclaimed design world visionaries led by French female architect Francoise Raynaud, founder of the Parisian architecture and design firm Loci-Anima. One of the tallest buildings in the area, the residential tower provides unprecedented views of the Hudson River, New York Harbor and the Statue of Liberty, and a robust amenities offering including private parking. A rarity in new developments, Greenwich West will boast an automated parking garage that lets those who use it go directly into the building hassle-free. To retrieve your car, you can request your car by the app and have it waiting for you when you get downstairs, or have the doorman call it or call it from the automated screen. Never having to leave the building when entering or exiting, it's a safe haven for all.
