The Element Condominium, at 555 West 59th Street, is a new luxury condominium building located on a comparatively new stretch of Manhattan's Upper West Side, but it's also more than that. In the booming Upper West Side neighborhood west of Columbus Circle, The Element has emerged as a strikingly modern condo and a blockbuster success. Thanks to a suite of amenities that impresses even by the high standards of Upper West Side luxury condos and apartments for sale that offer some of the finest skyline and river views of any NYC condo, The Element has emerged as one of Manhattan's most distinctive new construction condominiums. The Element is already a neighborhood landmark in an area that's home to a host of promising new luxury developments, and one of the most sought-after condo listings on the Upper West Side.

The Element's striking all-glass curtain wall makes it easy to spot, but it is also distinguished by its elite suite of amenities. The Element is surrounded by more than 12,000 square feet of lushly landscaped space, which -- combined with its proximity to Riverside Park and Central Park -- lends it a uniquely relaxed, out-of-Manhattan feel. But while the great lawn, sundeck, and outdoor lounge area recall an elegant country club, The Element's other amenities are pure Manhattan luxury condominium. The state-of-the-art fitness center features the expected high-end exercise equipment, as well as such unexpected touches as a 60-foot, glass-walled pool and jacuzzi, indoor basketball and squash courts, a Yoga studio, locker rooms and a sauna. The Element's ultra-modern residents lounge comes complete with an HD television and surround-sound speakers, a billiards table, and even a foosball table. The Element's playroom is similarly well-appointed with fun stuff for the youngest residents. The other luxuries one expects from a Manhattan luxury condominium are in place as well, from on-site parking to 24-hour doorman and concierge service.

The apartments at The Element are every bit as impressive as the amenities surrounding them. Floor-to-ceiling windows bathe each apartment for sale at The Element in natural light, and frame some of the most stunning views any Manhattan condominium can offer -- Hudson River views extend north of the George Washington Bridge, and Manhattan views offer dramatic vistas of Manhattan's vertical scenery. Open floor plans and soaring ceilings guarantee an airy feel in each Element condo, while an uncommon attention to aesthetics and detail make each apartment for sale a welcoming but modern living space. The windowed chef's kitchens feature top-of-the-line appliances, clean white lines, and a dining island; elegant baths are similarly striking, with oversized mirrors and vanities, marble accents, and more windows. Sprawling private balconies offer the equivalent of another, outdoor room, with enough space for entertaining. The Element is also a short walk from the shopping and subway hub at Columbus Circle. Add it all up, and it's clear why The Element has emerged as one of the elite condominium listings on the Upper West Side -- few condo listings anywhere offer as much.
