There are a lot of great properties with lasting value to be found throughout the city, whether owing that to their locations, amenity spaces, interior appointments, some other factor, or a combination of all three.  Here's a list of the city's Top 10 Best New Construction Condo Investment Buildings as determined by New Construction Manhattan.

 

1. The Platinum

First off is 247 West 46th Street in Midtown condo, a 43-story condo that’s a short walk away from Times Square, Broadway, and Rockefeller Center. But more important than tourist sites are the world-class restaurants, grocers and cafes in the immediate area, guaranteeing that any tenants will think twice about leaving out of sheer convenience. Moreover, the building’s also seconds away from numerous commuter and public transit sites — putting the entire Metropolis at one’s hands.

Durability and reliability for this address’ units are assured by hardwood floors, Bosch and Thermadore appliances, high ceilings, and limestone walls and floorings in the baths.

 

2. The Sheffield 57

Also known as The Sheffield 57, 322 West 57th Street is 58-story residential tower just a few blocks away from Central Park, and features residences designed to accommodate both urban professionals and families, by supporting with amenities like two social lounges, a children’s playroom, private enclosed swimming pool with outdoor sundeck, fitness center with Yoga/Pilates studio, spa, and a private enclosed driveway.

This is a place in which tenants will really build the rest of their life, from early career to raising children into their teens. Since a family-oriented atmosphere is assured, community events will offer the opportunity to deepen tenants’ commitment to their living space by engaging the community.

 

3. 200 Chambers Street

200 Chambers Street in Tribeca, designed by architects Costas Kondylis & Partners and developed by Jack Resnick & Sons, is a tower whose true beauty lies, as the saying goes, on the inside.

On the 7th floor rests a 50 foot sky-lit indoor lap pool and state of the art 24-hour gym. On the 8th, there’s a landscaped rooftop terrace with views of  the Hudson River and Washington Park.
