The East Village is home to Manhattan's liveliest nightlife and music scenes, as well as to a host of galleries, a dizzying array of restaurants and shopping, and the greatest naturally occurring source of cool in lower Manhattan. But luxury condos? Not so much, for the most part. 123 Third Avenue, a new construction green condo with a prime East Village location at, yes, 123 Third Avenue, goes a long way to change all that.

Landmark 17 is a pre-war condominum with apartments for sale in New York City's Gramercy Park.

Located a short walk from Gramercy Park itself and near many delicious dining locations, there is much to do around Landmark 17.

Tempo's location at 300 East 23rd Street puts it within easy walking distance of Gramercy Park, but this new construction luxury condominium offers a different look and feel than the classic condos and co-ops near Gramercy Park itself.

Gramercy Starck, at 340 East 23rd Street, is a new condominium that bears the unmistakable stamp of star architect Philippe Starck. As with all things Starck, Gramercy Starck has a distinctive look -- its striking glass curtain wall and graceful contours make it an instant landmark in Gramercy. But it's the apartments for sale at Gramercy Starck, as much as the eclecticism and brilliance of its famous designer, that have made this new luxury condo one of the most sought after condominium listings in Gramercy.

323 Park Avenue South, a new, yet-to-be-built development, will be a boutique condominium that will be both modern and chic inside and out.

The luxury condos for sale at 323 Park Avenue South will feature high-end fixtures such as wide plank hardwood flooring, floor-to-ceiling windows, and marble bathrooms with heated floors.
